How the clue works
Look at trap set? at the end — that's your definition, where "trap" is slang for mouth, so a set for your trap is a set of false teeth. For the wordplay, take daring feats, which gives you ADVENTURES, then a victory proving elusive tells you to drop the A and V from it. Strip those out and you're left with your answer.
