Chris that seems pretty good for a gallon of fuel! And did you not fill the diffs when you got it, because they just threw grease in the diffs. After racing mine car and took it all aprat to clean it, i didnt find no dirt in the gear boxes. And for the chassie, ive heard most people go threw 2 a year!
