I believe a lot of how well it handles depends on the set up.

I've never seen any evidence that hydrostatic steering is illegal, at least not in KY.

check out the first link... here, let me google that for you

X2 on what k2s said. Debated many, many times.. have yet to see proof that's it not legal...

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.

cant see at all how it could be legal do to if line faild ud be in deep**** in hurry! if line fails on gearbox u can strongarm it! i drove my rearstear zuk buggy on road all time with matchd parts from psc didnt drive bad but like yellowjacket i would keep speeds down. dont think a trooper would ever look at sumthing like that anyways. Ky law like law in mexico anyways!

i always thought(which means nothing )that it was stated you had to have a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels for street use. with that said i have to say that our sue happy society would have a field day with something like that if it failed. like they say its all legal untill you get caught

p.s i did not have sexual relations with that women.....
