Mini Inferno ST/NanoDragonII double build

So...I was busy this spring with lotsa stuff, but now its summer and I'm getting back into RCs.
Finally I have bought the brushless system I wanted, a Wraith 7k motor and Quark 33A esc from BPP. I need a new radio system and servo for the MIST though cause stock it uses a esc/rx combo and 4-wire servo. So, went over to
toyeast and bought a 27mhz AM receiver and a new NanoDragonII. Updates will be at bottom of page.

I'll be building both RCs up over this year, and these are my plans so far-

Mini Inferno ST-
Planned to be a fast and driven-hard truck

Current Setup-
stock esc/receiver combo
stock transmitter
stock 4-wire servo
Kyosho X-Speed high speed motor
United RC 9.6v 1400mAh Ni-MH battery pack

Not Installed Yet-
Wraith 7k motor
Quark 33A esc
Inopo (Toyeast) 27mhz AM receiver
NanoDragon II transmitter
NanoDragon II servo

Later-
planning to get a cf chassis to do the motor flip mod
upgrading to li-pos
CVDs
various other drivetrain parts

Yea, so I was stupid and didnt get lipos before brushless. :( oh well, Ill live without it until i get another $60 (thankfully I already have a lipo charger). Although that cf chassis is kinda necesary too so that I can flip the motor to the rear and use a stick pack instead of hard-to-find saddle packs.


NanoDragonII-
Planned to look nice and not driven as much, but not be stock performance-wise either.

Current setup-
Stock

Later-
When I get li-pos in my MIST I'll pull the NiMH pack out and stick it in the nano
some parts for cosmetics, like CF chassis, Gunmetal alloy rims, black buggy wing, alloy parts


UPDATE- 7/12/07 -
All parts got here a few days ago. Ive already tested the Nano and put a review up on it, and will be installing the brushless system into teh MIST as soon as the deans plugs and motor screws get here (BPP forgot them the first time and are shipping them to me now) Pics of Nano are in the review, pics of brushless will be up soon, maybe tomorrow
