Not sure if this is useful information, but typically, locking up the rear axle brake will really stress the clutch and lead to premature failure. If you avoid locking the brakes, it may help extend the life of not only the shoes/pads, but also the posts and springs.

Cleaning the clutch (drum and pads) will also help keep it from failing, like anything else on the kart. It also allows you to discover problems before they cause problems on track.

Hope that helps.
