Maybe a little on the tight side, hard to tell with a shorter burst but not too bad.

 
I don't hear a crazy amount of screech, but I think it could be better. It probably has to do with your bevel to pinion shimming and getting it just right. I'm assuming the video is using 11.1v--are you able to take a vid using 7.4v? (7.4v is way easier to judge shimming.

This vid is the closest I've built to what you have above. Notice you can hear a light shh noise, but no screech or high pitch.
