I just find it hard to believe that the motor can be the problem because when i install the spur gears the mesh is perfect so i just don't get it. I am to the point where i am ready to get rid of the car for something else. Maybe the new velox.

I have experienced on a few occasions with the picco engines which includes the evo3 and edo tune that the bearings fail which creates a small wobble in the shaft which caused me endless dramas with stripping gears.
change your bearings and see how that goes.
