Hello everyone...

Ok so today I went ahead and replaced my main (spur) gear on my caldera 10e and after all back together and on my test run (which was no more than just a couple of minutes) I had chipped 2 teeth right off my new main gear. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong. I thought I had made sure that the gear mesh was what I thought perfect, mabe not?

I have also notice that there seems to be alot of free play (can slide forward & back) on the rear center drive shaft. Now I do not know if it has always been like this and/or if this is not nornal? Thanks in advance guys for your help...
