Typical lifespan of trx 3.3

[mpresiv]

This is my first nitro truck and I was wondering if I could get everyone's opinion on something. I have the tmaxx 3.3 and I was wondering what kind of lifespan these little engines have when following typical after run procedures etc.. I'm aware of the fact that it depends on how you treat the engine.

Thanks guys

The most I've ever heard of for a Traxxas engine is around 5 gallons.

I've heard average of 5 gallons. The biggest factor in wear is how long you hold WOT. If you are often running short tracks or just banging WOT to build speed for a jump your lifespan will be much greater than if you go to the local high school practice football field and do 100 yard speed runs.

Heh. I just run mine up and down the street, when I feel like doing jumps I only need about 10 feet to get up speed.
