They aint the easiest to speed mod. When I had mine all done they stripped gears really easily too. If you speed mod them they're probably very good for one event, but after that you'll need new ones, that's what I found.
I got mine done for me, so I can't really help, but I know it involves modifying the case.

SD200 speed mod
Hi everyone:),
I am currently developing my own antweight and I am using specially modified Naro HP/BB servos. However, for those you need a specially machined part that I got from a friend. I think there are instructions to modify SD200 servos here on robotwars101.org. I'm new to the sport so I don't know much about servo modification, but I do know that you can buy ready modified servos on the robotwars101 antshop, as well as instructions to modify HS80/81 servos(I think that's the type anyway)

The SD200 modification is possible, however is proberly the most dificult servo i have done this on. I am not sure on the latest ones as they change the insides every couple of years. However you need to raise one of the gears to mesh with the gear above, the case then needs to be milled out to allow the new gear to fit. If it is not done properly gears can strip leading to expensive replacement parts.
If you do it yourself be very careful as you could ruin the servos, and you won't be able to replace them on warenty.
