tell me of a hi-perf clutch (alloy shoes) that can statistically run 8hrs reliably with hard driving and zero maintenance

I've won a 4hr nitro endurance race by the way... refueling at 9mn, one 3mn pitstop to change rx lipo + tires + filter, plus one 2mn pit stop to fix a floppy camber link ... Electric is even easier really.

For battery change inspiration: check this out... winning truggy at last year's french biggest 8h race. Looks like 15s to me. these guys were doing 18mn/pack. No flameouts
