It depends. If you're racing, it's a good idea to have two. The smallest at my club are generally 2400mah. We run 5 minutes qualifiers and 8 minute mains. In a 5 minutes race they usually use less than 1000mah. In an 8 minute race it's between 1500-1800mah.
Most guys are using 3200mah or larger, just for safety sake and for the extra weight. Having two batteries allows you to have one charging while the other is ready to go or on the track.
If you're just out playing in a parking lot, running a stock silver can motor, a 3200mah should keep you rolling for at least 15-20 minutes safely, maybe more.
