Hi Marc
If I understand your question, you are asking if adding the RAEXT changes the spec of the mount in some way?
the answer to that question is no. We have not received any inquiries or emails regarding any difficulties adjusting either Alt or Az from new mount owners or RAEXT upgrades.?
We have mount owners with RAExt with a broad spectrum of ota weights so I don't think the load is a concern
i'll ask Scott as well and see what input he has.?
