I have 15Kg of C9.25 Edge HD, 0.7 reducer, Esatto focuser, 6200MM and 7 pos filter wheel on my AM5. At slow slew speeds the rig moves quite happily, however at full speed (like a meridian flip or a Home command) it makes an odd noise and just stops.
The solution is to use the hand controller and slowly, manually slew it back to Home.
Adding a 1.5 kg Eagle and 1 kg of counterweights has solved the problem. It still tracks and guides extremely well without the counterweights, but any sort of fast slewing causes problems.
A small price to pay for a stable solid mount.
