Default Servo Problem

Hi everyone,
I need help with a servo or a valve bank problem on My Rc Kat excavator?
At first I though valve has seized but after pulling the servo off and opening the valve then valve turn fine, I am now thinking the servo is sick or weak?
Regards Cam,

update:

Turn out the servo is the problem it gone weak, my next question is

What servo do you guy recommend replacing it with?

the old servo is a tower pro MG995.

Regards Cameron.

cam
those tower pro's gave me nothing but trouble with my kat
I went with these and no more problems Hitec HS-85MG Premium Metal
Gear Micro Servo. but I changed to a more power valve body. stock valvebody
was leaking.
you need a standard size servo with the stock kat valvebody

hey guys, little update on this, Turns out that there was nothering wrong with the servo on my valve bank, all the rubbers in the valve bank had dry up and was causing the valve bank not to turn freely, so I pulled it all apart and clean everything and oil everything and put it all back together and she working fine now
