Exactly the problem I encountered with a belt driven turret. I so I went to gear driven and have a fine toothed ring gear on the turret and drive sprocket on the motor. There is just enough 'slop' in the lazy susan to allow the teeth to disengage. I ended up having to put a tensioner gear with a fairly heavy spring, opposite of the motor to hold the lazy susan in place. Not the best solution but a solution none the less. I have been toying with the idea of a bearing mount (genuflecting towards The Master :-) ) as the lazy susay wobbles when the tank is moving.
