i also wouldnt suggest trying to have a contest to see who can run their plug the longest cuz the filament will break and go through engine sooner or later , guess what , engines dont usually survive that without some sort of malfunction
rule of thumb , change plug every 1500-2000cc of fuel , very safe if your tune is close to right and you will have a very easy time tuning with a fresh plug , much less chance of the fire going out also
24063 , 24069 or any nova or OS carb that you know tunes great on another engine

That's alot of plugs and if they are Novas thats a lot of $$. How much fuel is through the motor? How is the engine running? I've tossed perfectly good plugs because they were reaching the 3/4 to one gallon mark. But 6 in a little over a gallon...somethings off with your tune. air leak maybe? how is the idle? Fuel tank and lines new?

Monty I have a friend that picked up a p5 full monty from you and he is running it in a Losi 8t 2.0. I was wondering what Losi clutch setup you would recomend for that motor? All aluminum shoes with 2 gold spring and 2 green springs?

I preferred two blue alu. W/gold And two carbon w/ green on the stock losi clutch
The buku shoes r awesome but i noticed u should use the losi clutch bell the protek bell has a smaller i.d. , didnt work so well as the shoes are a touch bigger

All alu. Wears and galls pretty quickly but works well on the track

As for the plug issue-
I was going through the break in process and after about 1/2 gal one plug was only glowing 1/2 filament. After 1 gal I had 2 plugs go out back to back and car was still running a bit rich due to nuts not yet dropped. After nut droppage I had a few flame outs but plug was still good, I replaced it anyway to b on the safe side. Since the I've gone through another qt and looking good. All plugs were c6tgc and filaments were intact and not burnt.
