  Are the motors and gears used in the NexStar SE line of telescopes the same as those used in the NexStar "i" series telescopes?
Answer All of these telescopes use metal gears.  

The NexStar 4 SE and 5 SE drive bases use motors and gears that are similar to those used in the current SLT drive bases.

The NexStar 6 SE and 8 SE drive bases use gears similar to the larger NexStar "i' series mounts.  The motors are similar to those used on the Advanced CG-5 GT German equatorial mount.
