Good news is 18650s are pretty hard to screw up, which is why they are used in power tools and laptops and so on..

This is the exact problem I have... I charged the battery with the life setting in balance mode, with a 0.2ma charge current (wanted to be extra safe). It stopped after 176ma, and the battery will not cycle my G&P V2 stock gearbox with an M120 spring and a G&P M120 motor. I bought this battery because my old Firefox nimh 1500mah 8.4v battery wouldn't cycle it either.
So, either my new lipo is not fully charged with the setting I used to charge it, or it really isn't strong enough to cycle my current setup...
