Also check that the motor screws are very tight and the motor can't slip.
These things worked for me, so you might or might not want to give them a try (I know how much of a pain it is to change spur gears with that chassis!!!) Good Luck!

This really makes perfect sense. The motor only rotates in one direction when youre going forward, so it will only twist the motor mount in one direction. In one of the motor mount positions that twisting will pull the pinion away from the spur, and in the other it will push them together. Thanks alot for pointing that out. So hopefully this next spur will be my last.
And you must be the one who told me about this motor mount in the first place, so this isnt the first time youve helped me out alot. Thanks.
