Echo TR Hub how tight? Echo TR Rim max. spoke tension?

Ok. Now I've mounted the wheel with these snail cams and 12Nm* and I'm under the impression that the wheel is moving. When tightening the bolts the chain is tight, after a few pedal kicks it isn't anymore, a thing that hasn't happened with the Hope Trials Hub. Any suggestions?

*Did the exact same thing as shown in the video of Tarty.

Edit: Never mind. Seems to be the cog and FFW not being 100% round or sth. like it. I put a mark on the frame and the bolt washer didn't move a bit, even though the chain got loose. Still, can anyone recommend serrated bolt washers made of steel?

What I noticed though is that the bearings of the new Echo TR hubs aren't what I would call high quality and I was shocked, that there is not even a dust cap or sth. to have at least some protection.
