Default Servo Specs?

I'm new to 1/12th scale pan cars, and I have a question regarding servo needs for this class. I did a search on this thread on servo's, but all I found was REALLY old messages on the subject.
The manual says that a "micro" servo is recommended, but I'm a little leery of what each manufacturer might consider "Micro". I'm looking at a Hitec HSG - 5084MG Digital servo with these specs -

Motor type: 3 Pole
Bearing type: Metal Gear
Speed: 0.07 @ 6v
Torque: 26oz @ 6v, or 1.9kg.cm
size: 29mm x 13mm x 30mm (34mm mount points-which appear to fit the left side)

Is that enough torque? This sure is a small little burger—I"m used to 1/10th scale servo's. Any help is much appreciated.
