i didnt have a mini servo for dig so i used a hi-tec 325 stanard size servo for dig around 60 oz's i think.
1. put a 8-15mm set screw in the hole for sevo mount closest to the front (it can be 4-40 or 3mm i used 3mm works fine)
2. get an axial 15mm stand-off if 3mm or 4-40 equivelant and screw on to set screw get tight
3. get a cupple of 2 mm spacers or a 3mm will work (used two 2mm's)
4. put ball that goes into the rod end on a standard 3/4-1 inch servo arm and adjust as need to work correctly may also take some adjusting with the set screw and rod ends
5. screw the servo to the stand-off with the spacers in between the servo and stand-off (servo sets up right) make sure the back end of the servo touches the frame and zip-tie one of the holes on the servo case to the frame.
6. now that you have made all needed adjustments and tested to see it works got crawl!

pics to come!

The smaller servos are cheap and get the job done. Adding the larger servo will increase your COG. I haven't heard any probs with the Losi servo if the EPA are set right.....
