Thanks for the reply. The problem I have with the motors/drive system on both axes is that when I use the handpad to slew, or use the Scope program to do the same thing, the motor seems to accelerate up to a point (quite quickly - only a second or two) when it makes sort of rattling noise and doesn't seem to have any torque. It isn't a problem with the gears or whatever, they are now well balanced and run freely and smoothly. It is in the way Scope the software is controlling the motors.
Did you have to make many changes to the Config.dat file to get your system operating?
