This rear steering system will be ready soon for purchase. Hoping enough people want it to justify the expence of developing it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBYj8kYgWqo[/media]

Is it disabled over a certain speed? Looks like a wreck waiting to happen with an inexperienced driver at anything over 25mph. Dont get me wrong it looks like fun and would be very useful on tight trails but no use on the street.

How is it controlled? Joystick? knob? helmet from Firefox that reads your thoughts?

It automaticaly disables over 25mph. The controls are easy, just a joy stick and a couple of buttons. The HMMWV allready has the mounts in place for 4 wheel steering. This just replaces the stock brace with a link to an actuator. It is hydraulic and is street legal.

can you explain how it is street legal? only reason i ask because i am under the impression that a mechanical linkage is required, and i wouldn't expect CA to be any less stringent.
also, i know in the video it said the rear steer is "locked out" via the switch. i would think that the way you say it "disables" is probably more accurate. is there any positive locking device to secure the rear steer linkage?

That setup has an air actuated pin that locks it in the centered position, so it would be mechanically locked at that point and street legal.

Rear steer is awesome! I have it on my rockcrawler and my transport vehicle.
Are there enough HUMMER/HMMWV units around to generate sufficient demand for continued development and production of a quality system? I doubt it. You will need to look to unlce sugar for a real payback.
