Default Buying single cells

Has anyone been to a site called tenergy.com? i found it the other day and they have a massive selection of batteries!! They have 5000mah nimh "C" batteries for like $2 a piece. At this rate you could make 2 9 cell packs for cheaper than 1 8 cell pack. Anyone purchased from them at all?

still single cells are cheaper at under $2 a piece. its cheaper if you have the 14gage wire and connectors.

I've used plenty of (cheap,generic) tenergy batts. I wouldn't use C cells in a 1/10 scale RC. I use those in some consumer electronics.
