I did when I first built mine, and I'm planning on it with the wifes m05 when it arrives next week. But I do think it adds drag to the car initially, but as the excess spins of the gears I think it gets faster. I haven't added any extra since I got the car.
Of course if anyone wants to share ultra fast mini secrets, I'm listening.
