Full Hydraulic Steering

So why are those orbitals so much less expensive than others?
 
Not sure. Maybe chonese parts? I know the standard PSC kit uses a 2.5” ram and this site shows 2”. I know when I’m ready to order parts for my buggy I’ll be calling to get some answers
 
I wanted as much return to center as I could get. Even with load reaction orbitals the return to center is damped quite a bit. So getting as much caster as possible helps. I wouldn't want to drive even tighter trails without any return to center. Not to mention fire roads. The feedback is great at reducing driver fatigue and it helps you drive by brail better.

I still have to turn back towards straight, but its not nearly as great a force as turning. When driving fire roads or street I am not really turning, but just pressurizing the system in the direction I want with slight wheel force. Its hard to explain.

You do have to learn it a bit, but once you get it its not a problem.
 
With standard steering of course.
I was thinking with full hydro, the tire can’t move the hydraulic system.

See my post above, the tire can totally move the hydro if you get the right valve. You want it to when your not giving wheel input.

Yes, I found an article online and edumacated myself a little bit! Thank you it’s nice to get real world feedback

Absolutely. It helps with some resources. Alot of what was out there was trail buggies only when I did it, and for that you'd want quick reaction and minimal turns lock to lock. I wanted as quick as possible but with the ability to travel fast as well, so I built a slower system with more lock-to-lock. I can overdrive it on very tight trails but its still been worth it.
