If you're racing and have a fair amount of time between heats and the main, you could conceivably get by on one 4S lipo, but I'd rather have at least two.

1 pack can easily last you both qualifiers.. if you don't do a lot of pratice laps.. and if it has a 2c or better charge rate it shouldn't be a problem to get it peaked in time.. if you only have 1 a-main if you have dual or triple a's or if you make the bump from the b main you better have two packs. 3 packs is a little over kill....
