I have a Fortec passion.Could I please have suggestions for which motor to put with it to drive a 1.1 dish and also a stand alone positioner as at the moment it is on a small unit controlled by disque2 and it is starting to struggle as it is a few years old.
thanks

The metal geared Darkmotor is advertised as good for upto 1.4m,never tried it though, but it is still a DiSEqC motor.

You may wish to consider getting a 36V H-H motor, more powerful and faster. You would also need a Vbox to interface to it from DiSEqC 1.2.

The Jaeger 99G should do it, if not in an exposed position.
