If you want more advice on flying with RC gear, go to Maxbashing.com and look up a chap who goes by the name of 'Beddo.' He did a trip to the U.S. and took his nitro car and associated gear with him on a business trip to race at lots of tracks.

My advice would be to check the weight of all your gear in one bag - carry on luggage can be subject to restrictions. Take all batteries out of the radio gear and carry your li-pos in a proper li-po sack (discharged).

Model race cars may come under the mantle of sports equipment, check with the relevant airline - personally I would box it up and check it in, at a push, pack only the Tx and probably the Li-po into hand luggage.
