How many miles on your rigs?

[Cheetah928]

So in a previous post, @CreepyQuarryCrawler had shown an image of a scale conversion calculator, which got me thinking about how much I drive my rigs. I mean with the trx-4, that things gotta have a lot of miles, I drive it a ton, and since it's a 1/10 scale, you gotta multiply it by 10. Top speed is 13mph, so that's 130mph scaled down, which is a little fast for a real rig, but not un-heard of. After long thinking, it's got anywhere from 470-1100 miles or so on it. And while this seems outrageous, you gotta consider the fact that its on it's 4th motor and I run it hard, long, and often. Over 1.5 years that's a lot of miles racked up. Multiplying the numbers that's anywhere from 4700 to 11000 miles, which sounds pretty real for a full size rig.

So you guys got any guesses to how many miles you got on your rigs?

With my health unfortunately it's probably a matter of hours and not miles.
I assure you especially the last few years, I have very little hours on them.
I can't count them on one hand.
Interesting thread though @Cheetah928 .

Since I use my mini crawlers the most, with 4 over several years, I may be getting close to a mile!

My scx10ii has been on a 12 mile journey no breaks. My stampede since 2007, I'm sure its around 500,000. Used to run it 24/7 had one battery being ran while 4 more were charging.

My trx4m has around 200,000 miles on it. I ran that thing hard for the first year I had it

iv wondered this myself. from 1999 - about 2004 i ran my RC10T3 almost daily. and when i say daily i mean 3 - 7 packs a day. there were weekends where id have 5 packs and 3 chargers running non stop until everything was overheated. if i got together with friends we could have 6 chargers and 14+ packs in rotation. i could have 4+ hours of run time per day.
i figure the truck had about a 12mph average speed per pack. times that by an average of 7 minutes of run time per battery. times the thousands of packs that were run over the years.
then keep in mind i rebuilt/restored the truck in about 2014 and still run it. i might put 10 - 15 lipo packs through it a year. higher top speed and a much longer run time.
id guess the truck probably has 10,000 miles on it. times being 1/10 scale

That's a ton of miles! I'm curious, what are you guys basing off of? I'm going by the amount of motors I've gone through and the time it took to do that and how long they last

i just did some math. lets see if it maths.
average speed of 12mph X 7 min average run time = 1.4 miles
1.4 miles X an average of 5 packs a day = 7 miles a day
7 miles a day X lets say i ran it 300 days a year - 2100 miles a year.
2100 miles a year X the 5.5 years i was running it = 11,550miles by 2004.

after the rebuild on lipo
average speed 12mph X 12 min average run time = 2.4 miles
2.4 miles X an average of 12 packs a year = 28.8 miles a year
2014 to 2025 = 11 years
11 years X 28.8 miles a year = 316.8

11,550 + 316.8 = that "averages" to 11,866.8 miles total. that's just ballpark figure. there's a good possibility i ran it more than 300 days for a few of those years. and there were times when the average battery usage was 10+. I'm comfortable rounding it to a conservative 12,000 total miles. X's that by 1/10 scale. more miles than most peoples 1:1 cars.
