Also, one pit stop in a 30 minute main would still allow you to be competitive.

I 2nd that!!! Just took out my maxx with 2000XL/18cells. Temps here are around 33*C today. I ran my truck for about 20-25minutes of speed runs and some pootling around in 1st, and the batts still had PLENTY left. Batts were cold, 7020 was barely warm, and the 2000XL was quite toasty. My batts are 3300's, but took 3575mah when charging.
A 15minute main should be no problem with 3300, and with a decent set of lipos (4000mah+) and a high turn motor (1600XL/1200XL), a 30minute main should be no problem.
