I know someone personally who had cells sent direct from one of the major players in europe. I bought some of the same brand in this Country, and i had an extra 15 sec of runtime - they came off the shelf. So i'd agree with Lee, the good cells are out there.

Don't agree as to on-road. For off-road yes, there's really no point as there's runtime and power in excess these days! But I know for 1:12 that the likes of Marc Fisher get hold of batteries that's never to be found on any store shelves
Furthermore they charge them, do 1(!) run, then dispose of them... they have a mechanic soldering packs constantly during races...
Back to off-road!
