    I'd advice you to use springs and not gas spring: because often standard gas spring has a damping which slow down the speed. A speed reducing device would be bad for your motors which will heat (like driving while breaking...) ans reactivity would be compromised. ;)

    Springs will reduce the noise hopefully (by keeping the teeth in contact)
    but will not reduce the loss of reactivity and precision.

    that's a good idea to test springs: you'll make your own opinion! :thumbs
