I'll say we assume they are correct and taking off. The modules are actually really fast and we always take the shortest route to the desired angle. This requires inverting the drive motor direction if necessary.
We noticed our drivetrain chewed up batteries much faster when we swapped the Denso window motors for the AM 9012.
