The motors are NEMA 34 with 878 oz/in. of torque. They are WAY stronger than needed for an X2. I think most use NEMA 23 motors for this size.
Last night, I wondered why the Z-axis seemed to be a bit twitchy. Turned out I had tightened the gib lock. The motor still moved it, but the ballnut bracket was flexing a bit. Like I say, very powerful.
