Thanks gmbfilter. There is no lash when the clutch is done up tight. It also isn't a HEQ5, so those links don't really help since the assembly appears to be very different.

I don't believe it has anything to do with gears or lashing or any such business. The video is of the motor free-spinning, and it is not right.

Could be another dodgy controller too their qa is variable.

Could be. At this point I am inclined to have Andrews send me a new DEC drive and a new controller, just to be sure.

Cheers,
Steve
