With the Eq5 Synscan upgrade you are limited to using the hand controller and motors as there are no clutches on the driven gears. It does have the advantage that you have much faster slewing rates than the 6v RA/Dec drives, up to 800x siderial.
You can set this on the hand controller, anywhere from 1 to 9. A middle (5 or 6) setting is about right for me.
