Be careful of 18650 and 26650 cells. The cheaper cells are for flashlights and have a lower "C" rating. some are only good for 2 amps max. output. You need cells with at least a C35 rating. I know because I just tried the lower c rated cells on my model trucks and they died very quickly.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware of this. Makes me wonder how long the one's I've ordered will last. Neither the battery, or the sellers posting on Ebay has the "C" rating.
