Re: RS550 Enough Power?

I've go to agree with Jason ( dtengeneering). We too like worm drives--especially for lifting. You don't have to worry about backwalking, hence, no maintaining current to maintain height. Pairing up the windows motors with the correct sprocket ratios worked well for us in '07. We're using a much, I mean MUCH, heavier arm this year so we'll use gas springs too.
