Smile which servo.... ??

Hi all.

I've recently purchased a RDLogics Mongoose and it's almost fully assembled, but the problem I'm having is, I assumed I could use the servos off my Monster GT truck. However, when I tried to install it, I discovered it will not fit well. Apparently the server is too big/tall (the servo arm sticks out too much and the steering linkage is hitting the frame). Someone recommended to me that I look into a low profile servo. I looked around the internet some and it seems the low profile servos aren't very fast on response times.

Has anyone else had trouble fitting a standard size servo into their Mongoose?? Can anyone recommend a decent low profile servo? I'm not sure
how many Oz's of torque is recommended for my car so I'm having trouble determining the right servo for me. Do they make a metal gear, high speed (perferrable a .08 - .11/sec) low profile servo?? All the ones i've seen that claims to be high speed are .15 or .18/sec. I was hoping to find something better.

Anyways.. was hoping someone may have some good recommedations for me
