beefier motors for SS2K?

Would it be possible to adopt more powerful servos on the SkySensor goto
computer by adding a power booster?
Has anybody experimented this solution?

Hi Rod:

Thanks for answering. The question raised because if I try to reduce to a
minimum the backlash between the worm and the wheel, the motors tend to slow
down and even bind while slewing the scope at high speed. Beefier motors
should, in my opinion, reduce the problem and that annoying wobbling sound
emitted by the original motors at the points of higher friction.

Regards.

Hi:

Haven't heard of anybody doing this...the motors included with the SS seem
powerful enough for the installations I've heard of, including some larger
dobs.

Hi:

I understand what you're saying...but I'm of the opinion that a better solution
is to find a happy medium gear-mesh wise and use backlash compensation (I
believe the SS does that).
