yea, it's barely a week, old this is a white industries , with a sealed bearing.
 
A HD freewheel from " say Sick bike parts" does not normally have that much play.
here is the how to page from sick bike parts

I have learned to only use sick bike parts HD freewheels. Soime of the brand new ones I have purchased from them were DEFECTIVE .
Thjey replace them very quickly.

The hd freewheels from sick bike parts have a blue band.
To me your video looks like a standard Cheap-O-freewheel $19.00 vs the $70 .00 Hd one.
I would recommend Sick bike parts over most other vendors except thats Dax. They stand behind the stuff they sell with a replacement policy that is very GOOD.

i've installed the freewheel myself the blue band is there it's just dirty :) it's w-i just like the hd in sick bike parts, but sick bike parts sell a flanged version, i needed a tooth version.
 
Sick bike parts has a convenient pdf. How to overhaul the Blue freewheel .
I do not think it matters if it is flanged or toothed.

Try to tighten the lockring
 
I was usng this Demonstration of how to service a White Industrie…: http://youtu.be/3XWhIqzxK2c to take apart my previus freehwheel, isn't that the same as the pdf. ? Except the unfortunate part where its really really hard to remove a freewheel from a crank without a vice bolted to a table. and i had to use a hammer and a flat screwdrivr to both remove the bearing and insert it back.

Accroding to the link above i cant use any freewheel as the eno cant stand the stress and a cheap one will seize?
Question is what causes the play in the first place?

As discussed in the thread linked to above, a single bearing unit is not effective at opposing angular forces. Not a problem for it's intended purpose but if you are running power through the ENO in freewheeling mode......

The best bet at the moment seems to be the Token freewheel.

THANKS! the thread doesn't mention the token, but will fit at the same pattern as my eno freewheel? as you can see i have a special template which allows the toothed freewheel to embedded in the crank.

I did not know there MIGHT be a BETTER freewheel than a white industries HD freewheel.
I routinely place 5+ hp through my mid drive setup.
Every thing must be aligned, or you spread bicycle parts on the ground when you take off.
$100.00 for a Token brand freewheel is not very expensive if it works.
Post your results Please.

well, sad to see that white failed to deliver. but in regards to token , ok from i've read, if this thing just thicker, won't that mean it would simply stick out from crank? on other side the cover may stick out as well, but i'll i need is to make a new cover for it.
 
well i've just contacted jim at sickbike parts, it occured to me, from what i've read here, he could make a custom spider for the token .
