Default do I need to switch to lipo

I've been running a 1600 and 1900 nimh hump packs. I've never had any trouble with them, but I've entered my first big race and I'll probably be in either a 45 or 30 minute main.

I'm adding a 7955 servo and an rc4 transponder to the mix. Both are going to use more juice then what I was using before. Am I going to be able to run long mains with just normal Nimh packs, or am I going to have to make the switch to lipo? I really don't want to switch, but if lipo is really needed I can.

And if I can stick with Nimh packs do I need to go bigger then 1900?
