Default Why no bearing supporting the spur?

When I built this thing I thought it was odd that the spur gear wasn't supported on the slipper shaft by a bearing. Losi's used a bearing on the spur forever and it really helps keep the spur concentric to the slipper shaft. Has anyone tried machining the spur gear to get a bearing to fit? I don't like the fact I can press on the spur and get it to move perpendicular to the shaft.
