I have never damaged a revo spur, and I run my trucks hard. Are you setting the mesh correctly? I usually find that taking a regular piece of paper, and folding it in half makes a good gauge for setting mesh. Tear off a corner that will fit between the two gears, and press them tightly together while tightening up the motor. The rotate the gears buy hand to get the paper out. The mesh should be just about right. If it is tight when you rotate it by hand, redo the paper method at the tight area. The mesh should be smooth and not have too much backlash...
