what is a decent, waterproof metal gear servo for a 2wd Torment?

That Fan Model servo has good specs on paper. I may have to give one a try when the time comes for going SLB (super low budget). I've been known to go cheap on RC electronics over the past couple of years. Most of the time I get bit by going with SLB gear, and have to re-buy components. For $16, the FS-15W servo would be a perfect match for my $15 120A "blue" speed controls ? that I'm currently using in some of my trashers.Got this servo Fan Model FS-15W in my Ruckus fast and strong enough for me. Another decent one is a DS3218 servo. With the price of these I will just get another if the gears strip. In a basher I don't feel the need for anything more but I am a little cheap also. You can spend more for a better servo but that's up to you how much you want to spend.

The Power HD WP-23KG will be overkill, but it's at a great middle of the road price. Included in the WP-23KG is titanium gears. A lot of servos in the $40 price range only include softer metal gears. As a bonus, if, and when the time comes, the Power HD servo also has a replacement gear set. That means you don't have to throw away the whole servo if you happen to strip a gear.

I have the same servo in a wraith, with the same issue. Only thing that fixed it was using a separate bec, just for the servo. Even though the esc had a strong enough bec, it just had bad interference from the reciever.you think theres just a chance it's a faulty servo? It acts pretty crazy. The car even shot forward a couple times with zero throttle.
