OK What is the difference between the High torque g11 motors

hello to all
I have a Losmandy G11 mount with the standard motors on it (not the Maxom)
what would be the difference using the new Hight torque ones ??
and are they worth it
cheers Pete

Hi There, I too had a G11 and trust me the Maxxon alternative is defiantly worth the extra dollars.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.

yeh i know what you mean Peter but unfortunately the RA standard motor died last night there Is a set of standard motors for sale on Ebay but they are in the states and it works out the same price for them as the 1 High torque version and being second hand there is always the chance of them not working but at least you would have 2 of them one should be at least ok
cheers Pete

Well that's a case of it being broken. Sounds like the new ones are the way to go.
