Chris, you forgot the Hot Bodies D8 under 1/8 Racing category. They're good racers and are pretty tough, I would know, I'm pushing 2200KV and 5S through mine!
Great writeup, though, good for this forum where people are always going up the RC food chain to better RC's. Keep in mind though, cost will go up with a hobby quality RC. I thought with my D8 that I was running nitro. $550+later and it's a brushless beast
