EQ8 mount quality?

Hi Guys,
Here's an interesting video that I just found.

I just had a look at this 1080 pixel video on Youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLbiok7WJjE

Take a look at 24:10 - all the swarf.

Take a look at 28:16 - threads damaged by grub screws.

I'm still not sure if the EQ8 has a belt drive for both RA & DEC?
Does anyone have a link for a mechanical exploded view of the EQ8?

Any thoughts on the quality of the EQ8?
Is there a newer better version coming out?

cheers
Allan
