Any glow starter will easily last a full day at the track, as for a receiver pack look towards lipo, im running a venom 7.4v 2100mah (through a regulator back to 6v), it could possibly last a full day but to give it a bump up inbetween races wouldnt be a bad idea, the last thing you want is a run away

would a: ''Team EPIC Enduro Glo-Ignitor with 4600mAh Battery'' do the job?

and for a reciever battery how about a: ProTek R/C Li-Poly Losi 8ight Receiver Battery Pack (7.4V/2000mAh)''?

That gear sounds like the go, just be sure to run a regulator with lipo receiver packs if you are still running the spektrum radio gear so you dont fry it,

a regulator is like a voltage stepdown. in your case, if you're buying the 7.4v lipo battery, a regulator is needed to bring the voltage down from a fully charged 8.4v battery to an acceptable voltage of most servos and receivers which is at 6v.

if you're not used to lipo battery, it can be very dangerous. you might be better off buying another nimh receiver pack.

as far as the glow ignitor is concerned, my old 1600 mah lasted a whole day. so you might be fine there.
