I had the same problem. I felt that if I could reduce the friction, I could put less stress on the motors and use smaller ones. That part worked well although there was a problem with low resistance causing some issue with backlash mostly.

I stopped the build, and as it appears, I may be moving to Adelaide soon, I will spend more time there to get my astro-gear running again. I have the listed bearing I picked up from an old bit of shop cabinet. I can't wait to get a good job to continue and more time available for astro stuff.
