From memory, the problems that I experienced with the GPDX and MT2 motors seemed to be related to the “motor shaft tension” (Vixen words) rather than the motors themselves.

It seems that the motor shaft tension needed to be set within precise limits. If those limits were achieved, the values of RA = Set 1 and DEC = Set 1 worked okay. I understand that a “faulty” batch(es) of motors slipped through where the motor shaft tension was outside these limits and setting the values to RA = Set 3 and DEC = Set 3 seemed to “fix” most of these. I assume that these software setting changes caused the motors to be energised or activated in a different manner by the hand controller?

Anyhow, this is all GPDX and MT2 stuff, so I’m not sure if it applies equally well to the Atlux?

Cheers
