Be a little careful of that Russian spanner..
They don't take much to twist right off, I did that just hand tightening.
If it's belt driven then I doubt you have much to worry about gear wise. I had much larger than necessary closed loop motors in mine to test when I made the belt drive for my CGEM, they stuck right out the side of the mount, plus I used a two stage belt reduction around 9:1 before the worm. I was more worried about the belts than the worm gear, and the worst I could do was stall the motors.
You shouldn't have slippage issues if its well balanced, the main issue would be all the extra load on the bearings from the weight of the RASA but they are pretty big and should be fine. The extra mass will also make it harder to accelerate and stop when slewing, and probably wear the worm wheel a little quicker.
