hi guys if you were marking out of ten as 1 bad 10 good what is the best motor on the market for 100cm dish thanks looking to buy a new one but the metal gear ones seem to have a lot off backlash so always ajusting it to take slack out
 
The newer TM 2600 has metal gearing and seem ok. As you say some other metal gear motors have a noticeable backlash.
 
If you want one without metal gearing, to avoid the irksome backlash you mentioned, the old faithful Moteck SG2100 is inexpensive and robust. I have two (One pukka and one clone) and have never had a moments trouble with them. And they are cheap.
 
I have only road tested these 2 motors to date..
Like Gordon I'm able to sing the praises of the Moteck SG2100 ..
I've had one in service and trouble free for around 2 years ..
A few months back I also fitted a Superior Dark motor ...which I believe is metal geared and a similar construction to Pauls TM2600 ...so far so good ....and it moves a heavy TD110 steel dish with ease ..

if i was to say best motor would be an actuator on a polar mount but the motors that's been mentioned in the thread are good ones to look at.

i had issues with the moteck sg2100a but that's another story.
