You need at least 70 oz of torque for a 1/10 gasser's steering, 90+ oz is better. As far as speed it depends on the maufacturer. At any rate, 33 oz isn't in the ball park for steering, but MIGHT be ok for the throttle. If you have a full featured radio to adjust end point, throttle curve, & use the servos speed to increase the torque (come in on the horn). I'm still using a 46 oz .20 sec std servo for my GT throttle with a slide carb. It works fine! ;)

I agree with Railman.
The operative word here is, "MICRO". This means small, smaller than 1/10 scale in most cases. The more powerful the servo, the stronger the gears, the less you will break them.
I doubt that servo would do you any good.

I wouldn't put anything less than a standard servo in my truck. Even a standard doesn't really cut it. Plus the size of the micro servo is smaller than standard so it wouldn't fit. Go at least 60-70 ounces of torque. I've used a 60 oz .22 servo before and it doesn't have any trouble, but I like the .08 100oz much better.
