Default RE: Why does it screech like that?

It looks like there is a gearbox between the prop and the motor?

Did they provide any instructions on adjusting the gear lash in the gearbox?

They are adjusted by loosening a couple of bolts or screws and slipping the gears closer together or farther apart. When they're correctly spaced, they are quieter. When they're not, they make more noise and often waste power within themselves and steal it from the prop.
