Don't worry about discharging the lipo too far unless you're running round in the street until it dumps, they last ages now! With your motor you could probably do a whole days racing and only have to top the battery up mid way through the day. Even with a few warmup laps at the start I typically only put about 1100-1200mAh back into my lipo after each race
