FWIW I bought a bunch of loose A123 cells recently, and they have little discs attached to either side (welded or soldered, not sure) but they're definately NOT alu like the rest of the can and were very easy to solder on to. My 40W iron didn't quite cut it, I went and picked up a 80W with a beefier tip for $20 and it did it no probs whatsoever.

I will be running 7s1p in my revo, in a 3s+4s config because they also fit nicely in my other cars... if only the mamba monster could run 8s a123 I would be set, a bunch of a 4s a123's would be sweet.
