The Z590 is not good enough for steering, especially in crawling.

Z590 Servo Specifications
Torque 85 oz/in at 6V
Speed .15 sec/60° at 6V
Dimensions 0.73 x 1.55 x 1.46in
Weight 1.6 oz
Motor Type 3-pole ferrite
Gears Metal

And if you're not using a BEC set at 6v then it could be less torque, down around 70oz at 4.8v

At the very least you're gonna want something like a Hi Tech 645 with 110oz of torque, and that's still not quite enough in my opinion, and I've also broken the gears in one. I like the 7977tg Hi Tech servo with 333oz of torque for this type of driving, and if you ever drive with one of them for steering anything less will drive you nuts.
