I personally think that bragging that the 3 port lasts at least 2 gallons is also pretty sad....I've got an easy 3 gallons through my RB V12.....and it runs as good as the day I broke it in......and not for nothing,runs as smooth(idle and all) as ANY OS I've ever owned.....You guys are all being led down a primrose path......

My 5 port TR was the last OS I'm going to own......and BTW,Even though it had a 2 year warranty sticker in the box(and the web site says NO WARRANTY),hobby services would not fix that motor.....which didn't even make it to 2 gallons.....
