no you wont, but you might want to get rid of the plastic spur gear (unless you already have done so)

Yeah the Plastic spur gear should be the FIRST to go. The stock diffs should be fine until the mill is borken in. I dont think you'll break them or wear them out but the new TCD diffs are prolly a better way to go regardless.

Other then that your fine.

Funny story here, musta happened to a load of people here...
I was racing with a friend, me: K2 WS7-2 and sweet driving all night. he was on Inferno sport and not as fast as me ! so I put a spare WS7 into his car, with no inclination what would happen.
Put it on starter box, weird sound engine had no resistance or something. Looked at the gear and holy sh$t !! it was soo chewed up. in the end I had to give him a proper spur gear, but it was damn funny at the time.
