Default RE: servo arm length vs torque rating

Hey guys I am looking to build an attachment to go on the rear side of the front shock tower of my losi truggy to flip it back over when i land on the lid. I am considering a moded electric retract but am concernd about the voltage limiter preventing it from exerting enough force at the end of a seven inch rod. the truggy weighs about seven pounds clean but it only needs to be stong enough to push the rear of the truggy over the top. If i used a seven inch servo arm and a high torque servo. how strong would it need to be to exert 64 oz at the end of the arm? Thanksin advance for any good tips or ideas.
P.S. Although weight is an issue it will only be mounted when practicing and will be removed for racing.
