which one will last the longest if you break it in correctly? thx

prob elec i heard nitro need lots of mantnence

nitro by a long shot, electric needs a lot of atention like brushs and comm work and they don't last as long as nitros do

electric will easily outlast any nitro out there.... (brushless that is...) the only possible contact parts are the bearings, which can be replaced if needed but tend to last a very long time anyway...

im asking this question because i have a revo and i talked to traxxas and they said that the engine is only suppost to last 3-4 gallons. so i was thinking of selling since i only have a 1/2 gallon through it

I personally get more miles out of the nitro engines than i do from my electric motors, to get top performance out of electric motors I have to rebuild them after I put 6 cells threw one , 2 gal. of nitro on the engines, RED

it all depends on the level of maintenance that they recieve. my dad has a McCoulch? Mac 10-10 thats probably 30+ years old and it is still running great. we also have a lawn mower thats 40+ years old and its still running very well. that attests to the high level of maintenace that they have recieved.

I've had more luck out of nitro than electric. Electric gets so freaking hot and has a lot of limitations. I bought a .15 FE NitroStar 4 years ago and it's still running. And been run hard

nitro

Dont sell your revo lol ....... do you know how long it takes to run 4 gallons??? a pretty good time ..... then all you will have to do is rebuild the motor with a new piston and sleeve......

and BTW the engines will last long than that if u take care of them....... they usally last around 6 gallons..... some people will tell you that they have lasted them way longer than this...... own into the 8 gallon range.... just take care of it...... when the motor does deside to go it will not cost that much to fix.... u have to know that this hobby requires a little bit of money...

when it does go it doesnt cost more than 100 $ to fix.... i dont know the price of the 2.5 piston and sleeve but around what $60 to replace....

for 80more than 100$ You could by yourself a nice 2.75hp engine and start all over again
