You have to sit in these to experience the steering effort. My BMW rack is about the same effort as the buggy is... maybe even a little more firm. You want...
True Eldon I agree that the steering needs to be firm enough to keep a feel of the surface you are driving on. I have a custom kart that weighs approximately...
