It skips contact with the spur? Or it slides in the plane of the motor face?

Sounds like your set screw is coming loose. Only two things to fix that....Locktite and a little elbow grease.

Is there a flat spot on the GD600 for the screw?

How about taking the file a flat suggestion one step futher. Mark on the flat where the screw will sit then drill a hole through the GD600 shaft and fit one of the pins that come with the traxxas output yokes. I would check to make sure the thread in the pinion is the same as the output yoke pin before drilling the shaft. It's basically the same modification as you would do on a TLT axle pinion or Stampede gearbox output shaft |
