No problems mix them up, more realistic give the knockers some thing to find and whinge about.

Update:
I had an old New Bright Abrams Tank here that I had gutted and thought I could possibly make the drive system work in the carrier. The carrier is very light so the gearbox should have no problems driving the carrier. I dissassembled the gearbox and divided it down the center into 2 separate gearboxes, and I reworked the sprokets into something I can attach the carrier sprokets to. Here are pics of the gearboxes.

Decision:
Well after numerous attempts to make a 3" sprocket to match the track I have, I have come to the point where I have to decide which way to go... 1. Use the sprocket that matches the track but is a bit small in diameter(2 1/4") if I want it RC 2. Make a track and a sprocket non-functional non-RC If I use the tiger1 sprocket which 3/4" smaller in diameter it may not look right because of the diameter, but I can have the carrier RC. Your suggestions would be appreciated.... Thanks Harold

right order the metal hl tiger sprockets and cut the outer ring off it make the correct shaped boss as per the carrier, bond / pin the ring onto the boss and voila.
if the diameter is not correct then you will struggle as the pitch of the teeth will be matched to the segments on the track, and a bit of jiggery pokery will be needed, you may end up having to cast your own rings for it. if push comes to shove, use the tiger rings make a center for them and use full length sand guards on the carrier  Rich

Update:
Well there's an old saying that goes "If at first you don't succeed try try again", well that's what I did and finally wound up with a workable pair of rear drive sprockets for my carrier. I made a circle of track the diameter the size I needed then inserted styrene discs inside the circle and added sections of styrene where each tooth should be and well will let the pics tell the rest. Now I have the base made for detailing the rear drive sprockets
