Well, that was dumb. I got home from work and said "what the heck" and tried the Jato on 14 cells. Well, the first 50 feet or so was extremely fast and then the rear tires blew. Actually, the rim shattered which took the tire with it. Maybe it already had a hairline crack, I don't know. All I do know is that the potential speed was scary! Lesson learned here is that a perfectly balanced tire on very strong rims is a must.

I put some other spare tires I had laying around and ran it back on 2s and everything still works, so I'm OK there...
