Re: RS550 Test Videos
I'm going to guess that the weight is not being "let" down, but instead the motor is being powered off and the weight is falling down?

I think it is 2 inches but I can let you know for sure tomorrow. Also the rope is kevlar, we used it on our winch last year. We could "almost" stop the backdriving when we took an alligator clip and clipped it from the positive to negative terminals on the motor, in a mentors words we were "putting on the brakes".
