How do you get the humo pack to fit the battery box?I would strongly recommend a rechargeable Nimh pack for your battery, 4xAA's bog down if you try to steer and brake at the same time, even with the stock servos. You'll also be able to go out with a full charge every time, instead of burning through AA's and still suffering low power.
Nickel batteries can provide way more current, which is crucial for servo performance and not "browning out" the receiver, which is where the voltage drops so low it loses connection. A 6V hump pack is all but standard for nitros these days.
As for servo upgrades, I'm partial to JX servo PDI-4409MG's. They've got all-metal gears, good self-centering, more than enough strength for the Flying Fish, and are reasonably quick, too.
