umm, I notice you guys use small refractors. I have a 12" SCT and a heavy cam on the G11, and found I need the optional handle set to get the clutches as rock hard as I could to stop slipping (especially with even the slightest accidental nudge). I almost never slacken them off (only to rebalance etc) and they are still fine.

And Chris, the standard Gemini encoders are on the motors, not on the output shafts, so if the clutch slips, you lose position.
