Default Making Sanyo AA 2300 NiMH flight packs?

I hate to cross-post, but this isn't getting any attention in the battery forum.

I got a package of Sanyo NiMH at Costco, 2 800mAh AAA and 6 2300mAh for $20CDN.

I was going to make a 5 cell AA pack, just by soldering it together, the way I've always done making sub-C RC Car battery packs. But, doing some research, I read that it's bad to solder packs, and they have to be welded. What's the deal?

Are these cells suitable for an Rx pack? Do you have to use welded tabs, or can you just solder some wire like car guys do?
