Man Who did the thread digging !!
Oh well
They are good value for money. They use Tamiya TL01 parts and despite having really cheesy decals on their shells they can be turned into good drifters for very little outlay.
They do need a Better Battery and charger and the ESC has been known to play up but with the money saved, these can be easily remedied..

Yeah the good Old TL-01 may be a noisey chassis compared to a TT-01 but I would go the TL-01 over an E10...
As for parts : plenty of Hobby stores and E-bay stores Still have parts for the HBX/Tamiya TL-01..
You just need to find what part you need by Downloading a TL-01 Manual and finding the part number...
