This is assuming you've got at least 45 min between your heats.

1 powersupply, 1 charger and 3 lipo's. 1/8th scale buggy.
I charge up to 3C when needed. But I usually charge at 1C since there's more than enough time between the heats.

t4.05
b4.1


i bring 2 charges both ac/dc
4 battery for practice

always charge at 1c rate

race day you can get by with 1 battery per class and if its 8th scale you can butt you need a fairly hi watt charger to charge a 1c rate

1 1/8 scale buggy
2 4s lipos
2 chagers (one is a 10 amp, the other is 5amp)

I could get away with just one 10amp charger.

I only bring one Hyperion charger and 2 Lipo packs for race day. I attempt to keep things to a minimum on the cost and equipment requirements, but still acheive optimum performance with quality products.

I do the same than rangerjkb, by far the best solution if you run brushless IMO.

1 Hyperion 720Inet3 charger + its Meanwell power supply 350W 24v
2 Hyperion G3 6S 3300

And I can run all the day long without stopping .

For one lipo, my charge time = my range, so I only need two of them. I don't like having useless stuff with me, actually I manage to carry all I need for a day of race in 2 bags.
