If you build it right with all the right bits and race it every couple of weeks or so it should last about 2 years before the crank thrust washers call it quits. Pistons will crack but that's an easy fix if you catch it in time, and quite a bit of work getting all the shrapnel out if you don't. Either way I suggest you don't waste time, effort, or money getting a spare motor.
