[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 368297, member: 483"] The electric over hydraulic rear steer is cool but has some compromises. The motor they use is about equal to a winch motor, so imagine running your winch every time you turned your rear and that is what your electrical system has to keep up with. There is a power ceiling in terms of what 12-volt charging systems are capable of handling and those motors are at that ceiling which is why you won't find any that are higher displacement. Some are higher pressure than an engine-driven ps pump (at the sacrifice of displacement most of the time) so you can down-size your ram to gain back a little speed. But a lot of us need the shaft size that the bigger rams offer so then you're playing with system reliability. Even the highest displacement electric/hydro unit pales in displacement compared to even a stock engine driven pump. But they are cool in that they are independent from the engine and if your engine isn't running you can still rear-steer off the trail. [/QUOTE]
