I have 5-6 gallons on my 2.0 and I think it wears a lot less quickly than the 1.0 did. There is no slop in the steering or font end. All the diffs are ok, I am running smart diffs f/c. The only real complaint I have is in the initial build from losi and this truck has consumed 6 throttle servos so far, buy I think a local losi driver pointed me in the right direction. I have cracked almost every aka rim I have run on the truck, that may be aka that may be losi idk. But overall I have to say this truck is a huge improvement over the 1.0 and I love it. Idk what you guys are doing to blow diffs up so quickly, most drivetrain bearings do need a change after a gallon or so and at a buck a piece for protek or avid it's good insurance to prevent the horrid dnf. Anyway my losi has been good to me but I do maintenence meticously and after every race day. Now that I have said this the truck will prob spontaneously combust at the next race hehe ohh well as long as I am still having fun.
