    Noorbeast,Thanks for the input..going with your advice on the 60:1 ratio...I have the dof h2 and I do feel the backlash ..I checked out the motors@ motion dynamics...I have to find a cheaper alternative..I also feel like those motors are going to take a little more effort to fabricate a mount ..I would like to stay with this type of worm gear setup(image)...but can,t seem to find a motor for it...reason why I want too get my parts from Amazon ..is because,Prime,For one..free shipping...stuff breaks...send it back..free of charge...no restocking fees etc..and I would like to stay within 500 us $$ for my 2 front motors...my plan on build is to just mimic Dof reality h3 model...Thanks for helping..much appreciated
