Default spur gear meshg on 3.3

I have a Revo 3.3 and few days ago I flipped it over, and it seems to be shearing the top of th teeth off the spur gear, which leads me to belive, when I flipped it over I screwed up the meshing.

I replaced the spur gear, and you can move the gears with your fingers, and the both gears move. Wehn you apply throttle, i think the drive gear (whatever it's called) slips the spur gear and starts eating the tops of the teeth off. It's the only reason I can figure why my truck won't move... haha.

Anyway, how do you adjust the meshing, and when do you know it's correct?
