But, I did notice the FIT was extremely tight during the initial build!
Also, can someone recommend a strong/very durable replacement SPUR GEAR??
If the fit is extremely tight, I would just take some fine grit sandpaper and lightly remove some material. I had the same issue with my Associated 12R5.2. You can use a Panaracer spur gear or Yokomo's new spur gear.
