You should do tear down video of RCA VH226E you should barring grease the sprockets wheels i seen bad reviews on amazon you see sprocket i think running too much weight on the sprockets my siro sy27 s4 is alot lighter then the people in reviews using crushcraft antenna beam.
@foxman362 You’re right-I wish I had made a video when I took it apart for inspection. I disassembled it before mounting due to what I had read, but mine was in perfect condition. The gears were well-greased, and the motor screws were tightly secured with factory-applied Loctite. I’m not sure if the reviews I saw were isolated cases or if the manufacturer resolved those issues in later production, but I had no problems with mine. I also think many of the reported issues come from people exceeding the load limits. It’s not designed to support massive beams. I’m running a 13-element 2-meter beam, which probably doesn’t weigh more than 10 pounds, and I have it mounted through a carrier bushing. If you need something to handle a 50-pound, 20-foot beam, this isn’t the right choice. A 3-element 11-meter beam would likely work great on it.
UDX-362 waving to you cool you been in 390 wagonmaster livestreams before in his chats.
Awesome yes UDX-412 here waving back to you...

@@foxman362 Yeah it should be fine for that not much more than my 2 meter beam antenna...

@foxman362 I am impressed with it so far, and for the price, I think it's a solid deal.
