Good luck finding actuators small enough. You would have to use motors from slot cars or something, you won't find a servo that small (without paying top dollar).

Are you really buying one? Tell me how it turns out if you do, because if it is as cool as that video makes it look like (did you see how fast it is capable of moving?!?!?!?!), I might have to get a second job . . . . .
