I found that the power draw of the HEQ5Pro's slewing very much depends on the mechanical alignment of the gears. If you tighten the gear mesh and axial play of the worm in order to minimise backlash and noise you will inevitably put more strain on the motors and make them draw more current, perhaps much more (I have yet to measure it but the shortened battery life tells the story).
This is why I'm looking forward to putting in the belt mod kit I received from 1parsec, it should reduce backlash and noise without unduly increasing friction.
Cheers
Steffen.
