Default engine life?

i'm just curious how many gallons is everyone getting out of their nitro engines before they need to be rebuilt or replaced. i have a TRX 3.3 how many gallons should i expect to get out of it with regular mantinence and running decently rich. thanks.

Default RE: engine life?

Once I asked traxxas about it and they said that it should last 6 gallos.. but I have seen trx 2.5 with 10 gallons, I have had 3 trx 2.5 and 2, 2.5R and they all lasted the 6 gallons they should last, before beggining to show some troubles, but I havent had any 3.3 yet.

The mach .26 on my lst 1 just lasted 4 gallons, and my mach 427 last 8 gallons, ( still work but I have a LRP spec 3 now.. lol)

With regular running you should expect anywhere from 7-9 gallons
