Depends alot on how its tuned.

I would say 3-6 gallons, some .12 and .15 engines will go all the way to 8 gallons.

i've got my engine tuned really well, doesn't overheat, blows out lots of blue smoke, yet still has a kick of power, so i am expecting a long engine life then, would that be an accurate assumption?

even if you have it a little more richer than it should be, then you should be good

this question comes up alot, and varies widely.

My OS .21RZ(VO1B) in one of my buggies lasted only 2 gallons, and i was running a lil on the rich side, although racing it.

My OS CV-R in one of my NTC3's is now on its 6th gallon with no signs of wear, and i race it also.
