I think that you have done a great job of the conversion but was wondering how are the motor from the smaller lxd mounts Torque wise.
The lxd 55 75 mount is only the size of an EQ5 load capacity and from reports is only just up to holding the 10"SN.
I think if your going to upgrade the larger EQ6 mount motors you would want to have more powerful motors and better holding torque which the Astromeccanica kit has.
The motors are fair bit larger with a 20% increase in torque and fill the motor cavity with the motors only -no electronics in the cavity.
As such the reduction ratio has been reduced to allow even faster slew speeds while maintaining more torque.
The AM kit in the DA-1 doesn't have a PE correction as I have been told (see previous post) as if your using an auto guider in the form of a cheap web cam the PE controll is not needed .
Don't get me wrong i think the time you have spent and $ saved are great but what is the mounts abilities now load wise.
Do you have a torque figure for the LXD motors?
