A 590 isn't going to keep you from TQ.
Kenji,
set 2 identical cars up 1 with a z590 and another with a faster digital servo and your lap times with the faster digital servo will be faster. YOu will get much better steering input with the digital servo than you will get with the 590. On a track with lots of turns it can make a huge difference. I use the z590 because thats all I can afford right now, but I know I will not have as good of steering as I would get from a fater digital servo. Would I be TQ if I had the $100 servo, No but my lap times would be faster with my car set up identical to the way it is now.
Just my 2 cents
