you have to get the gap between the gears rite to get the gears to mesh properly. the best way to do this is to put a piece of paper between the clutch bell and spur gear when you push the gears together. dont just push the gears hard together.

Check if your clutch bell bearings aren't damaged. loose bearing will allow the bell to move apart from spur.
check the diffs one by one. also check if you do not have a rock stock somewhere one the line locking a cvd or dogbone.

Make sure you're getting the right spur for the truck. The white one you used is either for a different car (wrong), or an aftermarket (like Robinson). Make sure it is the correct pitch. The Traxxas original spur for your truck is molded in black composite. White spurs usually go on the electric trucks.

you must have a differential in the gear box. unless you changed it for a positrack. a car without diff is really squirly and uncontrollable on track unless you like to do donut all the time. and no stock car are coming that way at my knowledge
if your car doesn't move even without the spur, you need to take that gear box apart and see if you have something broken in it.

probably wouldnt hurt to open up the diff and check it out. unless you removed the diff itself, it has one. Check the bearings and make sure they spin with ease. Theres really nothing else..you said you know how to check the mesh. maybe check the meshing of all the other gears. Perhaps the gear box is cracked or out of line.

RE: stampede spar gear kepts going bad
have you got the manual for the truck? something ie realy wrong with that diff, pull the diff apart and put it back together as per the manual. there is exploded views on the traxxas website, just incase you dont have the manual... http://www.traxxas.com/products/elec...pede_views.htm
