Default trx 2.5 connecting rod only lasts 3 gallons?!?!

I was just reading through my T-Maxx owner's manual and Traxxas recommends to replace the connecting rod after 3 gallons?!?!? *** thats insane. I looked it up in the REVO manual since thats got pretty much the same motor in it, and they say it should be atleast inspected after 3 gallons..

sounds a lot like the car companies recommending you change oil at 3000 miles even tho you dont need it till atleast 5000...

anybody shine some light on this for me? How long do your motors/rods last?
