Re: G8 DEC axis backlash, fixing, questions

Re: G8 DEC axis backlash, fixing, questions
I need to read through this entire post but for me a lot of my GM811G DEC backlash was caused by one of the screw holes on my DEC gear box being stripped.? The motor would rock back and forth when

Re: Nice discussions leading toward perfection...
Yes...you have to experiment. The external reflective insulation may not have a clear effect...depends too on what type of tube you have. Carbon fiber or fiberglass might not be much affected but my

Re: Nice discussions leading toward perfection...

Re: Is the Titan Mount still being made?
Hola David I understand you are asking if we have an option to update a G11T to a Titan mount? We do not currently offer that option. The G11T supports weights up to 75lb, it is a very capable mount I

Re: Duda sobre g11.

Re: Is the Titan Mount still being made?
