Get an exorcist in because that car runs on the M-05 short wheelbase.
I run a M-05 Honda S800 on the short wheelbase and it looks ok but it's not the easiest of cars to drive on a less than pristine surface.
If you don't have access to an exorcist then a digital servo with around 7kg or more of torque makes the steering a lot better.
I use a Savox SC-0254MG - it's dirt cheap to buy has metal gears, ballbearings ,and does a great job.
I tried a Futaba S3010 but for me it was nowhere near good enough. Works fine in an m-03 though.
cheers.
