Default Looking for a new steering servo for my serpent 748

Hi I'm looking for a new servo for my serpent 748. My biggest problem with my hitec servo is centering. Any recommendations on a good centering servo in the $50-65 range. I heard Savox servos are a good bang for the buck but don't center as well as a futaba. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Futaba 9470 is a bit more expensive (around 70$) but it is a very good servo (digital, coreless). This is full size servo.

Thank you for that. Is it smooth and does it center well?

It works fine. I also use bls471 which is brushless. These are top Futaba.

if you are getting the m17, pgs-cx is a good choice.
i am no familiar 748, it uses full size servo, isn't it?

I have a full size steering servo in it now so I can go full or low profile.

Pgs cl from sanwa is excellent.
