I bring two charger, one power supply, one discharger, one equalizer, 6 pack of 3800, 2 packs of 4800 lipo (pratice use). Should be enough for me since I only race in one class.

I also bring a comm lathe and lathe the motor after every one or second run.
However I have 4 stock motor so sometimes I just use a different motor for every run, this way I could save some time and not have to lathe the motors.

I bascailly bring everything that I have to the race, all sorts of tools, motor cleaner, extra tires, spare parts, hudy setup tools, tweak board, extra bodies, etc.......

I would recommend an equalizing tray, I use the Novak Smart Tray. It will help with the performance and longevity of your battery packs.

Bring it all!! Plus extra money for beer... If you are flying to a race, pack your car and radio, maybe a charger and a couple packs in your carry-on. This way you dont have to worry as much about them getting broken (I got to snowbirds and the whole front end of my car was smashed in...Dont ask me how that happened when it was packed in my AE case...) Also, if they lose your luggage you will be able to borrow stuff at the track and still be able to race. Without your car and radio you will be SOL at the track...
