It is very common problem to have your gears stripped. You need a metal gear servo for your application. For the amount of money you mentioned, I suggest you get the Hitec 605MG servo. It costs only $39.99. just fit your bill. The specifications for 605 is:
Speed: 0.16 sec/60 deg. Torque: 77 oz/in

You need to clean and lub the servo saver. I was braking a servo every time I ran my truck but after I fixed to servo saver I have not broken on since.

I used the greese that was in my T3 kit. There might be something better but that was all I had at the time.
