You will have tons of traction without bothering with tire warmers. The trick is being able to use it. By the second round of practice on Tuesday people will be traction rolling.

Its been a few months since I have been on a flight, anyone know of any new problems/rules about carrying lipos?

Carry-on only. 2 batteries not in device.
3.6 volts per cell is safest charge (per NTSB testing).

8 grams is 100mwh. If you look on any ROAR legal pack they have the mwh number on them for this purpose.
But YES you must carry them on now. No checked bags.

From what I understand, the 2 pack max only applies to batteries with more than 8grams of lithium.
While I do not have exact data on how much lithium typical 1S and 2S packs contain, I did find this formula on one of the airplane/heli sites. Based on this info, one could carry as many 1S or 2S packs in their carry-on baggage as they like.

Another formula is the amount of lithium in the battery. You can have any number of batteries with 8 grams or less of lithium. The lithium content formula is:
Amp hour per cell x number of cells x .3 grams
so the 5S 5000 lipo would have 5 x 5 x .3 grams of lithium, or 7.5 grams of lithium in that battery. That meets the "small" lipo rule as well.
And you can have two batteries larger than 100 watt hours, with up to 25 grams of lithuim, or around three times the size of the 5S 5000 battery discussed above.
