Default Pinion gear grinding

Hi guys

I have the tamiya TT-01 chasis and have added the hopup motor, ball bearings and propshaft, all is working well apart from the pinion gear.

The gear on the motor doesnt appear to sit as close as i would have expected to the large gear connected to the propshaft. When i accelerate it grinds a little to start with and i was driving it up a slight slope and it was having trouble getting up (the gears where slipping)

Surely this isnt normal and does anyone have any ideas how to fix it.
