Default To spool or not to spool?

Apologies, I'm pretty sure this topic must have been covered but I can't work out how to search just the Mini thread so here goes:

My M05 has stripped it's 3rd set of gears in 4 meets (dunno if I got a batch of bad parts or if my HPI 15turn brushed is killing them) so I was thinking about putting a 3Racing spool in there. I figure no gears to mash=good thing. However, I'm not sure what it will do to the handling. The car is used exclusively indoors on carpet. Anybody currently using one or had one and can offer an honest opinion?
