[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 740487, member: 4983"] I imagine the pump has to run all the time for full hydro, it seems pretty unlikely you would have adequate steering response with the pump cycling on and off. There would be little restriction through the orbital valve back to the reservoir when you werent actively turning so it wouldnt be under load until you needed it. It either takes alot of power or alot of leverage to turn 40's in a rock garden. I could see how an electric pump could be beneficial in a crawler since it can supply max power and speed at idle unlike an engine driven pump. The smaller pump displacement may make it a no go for high speed stuff though. [/QUOTE]
