In older EQ6 mounts the gear wheels had 47 teeth. I'm not 100% sure if
this is still the case in newer mounts.

If we assume the number 47 is correct for both wheels, then the total
ratio would be:

10 x (47 / 47) * 180 = 1800

You must also make sure that the parameter "Mx_FS/R" is set to 200 for
both motors.
