    Hi @sudca

    Yes it's normal.
    It depends on the worm gear, usually at more rection ratio, more resistance.

    If the motor is only back-driven when it is not under power, it has a low holding torque, which is not too critical.

    If this also happens when power is on, the torque is probably too low for your current rig setup.
    In this case you either need stronger motors or change your rig, for example by reducing the lever length. And as a side note: the balancing needs to be done with you sitting in the seat.

    I've never used it by myself, but the tool SimCalc may help you with the needed calculations.
