Hi Theo. Using plenty of grunt a 5 Amp power supply so I don't think under-powering is the issue - and this seems to be borne out by the clean and smooth slews in Dec. It's just the RA stat stutters and staggers along.
I've opened the little windows into the gears and there is a degree of slop in the mesh in both sets of gears that would be producing quite a bit of backlash but that's another issue I think. My problem is I can't find anywhere a guide to how to open up the LXD mounts so as to get to the adjustments for the worm drive. Any ideas?
