The Losi clutch set up is the most reliable, most consistant, and most user friendly clutch on the market. If you are having those kinds of issues with it you must have been doing something wrong.
As Casey said use either 2 carbon/2 aluminum shoes or 4 Max Life shoes with 4 gold springs or 2 green and 2 gold springs and you should get gallons out of a clutch set up with very little maintance.
