I am still running the same slipper pad I made more than a year ago. It seems to be indestructible and lasts for a very long time. My thinking was: If aluminum is good enough for clutch shoes on nitro cars, then it will be good enough for slipper pads on brushless systems.
Just another option if the CF fails. I hope it doesn't
CF starts to break down at 60-70C doesn't it? The clutch will get higher than that I expect.
