Your clutch would fail, your bearings in the car and the engine would fail, your air filter would fail, your glow plug would fail, engine, tires, chassis braces, screws would fall out and parts will fall off while your running. Receiver maybe batteries definately, drive pins and couplers, etc, etc. You would have to have routine stops for maintenance every 2-3 hours and those stops would have to be extremely long for you to thouroughly check everything to keep running. I know it's harsh that we are poking fun at you, but from any racers perspective what you are trying to accomplish will be extremely difficult if even possible, but YOU GO GUY!
