But I wouldent want to drive at hw speeds. I've had 2 psc matched sytems that were great at high trail speeds..45 max. If your on road its not uncomman to reach70+ without realizing it... Iwouldent be able to live w myself if I hurt someone else or their child due to something questionable like that failing though..
I think koh guys go pretty fast in the desert, and that would be a argument for it being ok. But there was also quite a few steering failures at that race too so I keep my viewpoint.

I've heard the KOH argument before... Talking with I think it was Dustin Webster(may be wrong about that), he commented that off-road it is great when you have a 15ft wide "lane" to stay in... but going down the highway it will grab every imperfection in the road but the steering will feel "numb" and you'll constantly be over-correcting because with very small corrections, it will actually be "notchy" in a way and will be very hard to keep going straight.
That's not to say that with the right orbital/ram/pump matched to each other, with a steering linkage that has NO play in it, with the correct caster setting, and a suspension that doesn't have any play or quirks in it... yeah it could possibly drive pretty well at speed.
But the idea of having a fluid leak and not being able to steer scares the hell out of me... I would do full hydro and drive it on the street... but only VERY minimally... like never on the actual highway, maybe 45mph tops.
