Thats probably the root cause of the problem - the prop shaft is supposed to have end float so when the chassis flexes (landing from jumps etc.) so the bearings dont bind. The end float should be 1-2mm (i'm pretty sure it says all that in the manual). It might have been possible for the prop shaft to be pushed forward and thats how the crown gear got deformed.

That might explain how you stripped the spur gears too.

I'm sure one of the 'experts' will correct me if i am wrong!
