I race, or used to race I should say, RC too. I have a couple of the portable jump boxes that use the 18650 batteries and have had pretty good luck with them.
One of them just puts out barely 12v and the other put out about 16v. The 123A cells wouldn't be a bad way to go, just didn't want to pony up for new cells. I have chargers that will charge anything so maybe.
Thanks for the replies all!!
