I've never heard of a HBX Bonzer. Just looked it up. Not a bad looking car.    

Is a TT-02 any good? I have the chance of one brand new in kit. No body wheels tyres or electronics  £60 is that a good price?

If you look in my TL01 Escort thread, that started as a HBX Bonzer.
Same for my Carson Zakspeed Capri thread, that features now a Tamiya TL01 chassis so it is now fully Tamiya.
In both threads I have talked about the differences between a real TL01 and the HBX variants.


The TT02 is the most used platform for touring cars today. It's a entry chassis.
Loads of cars is fitted to that chassis.
There is also the TT02B which is the buggt variants.

I should try mine but the Mercedes body is too nice.

Is the TT02 worth getting @ £60  All i need is a body, wheels and electrics?

Tamico sells a complete TT02 kit for as low as 99 Euro and 89 Euro for the chassis itself.
If you have all the stuff yourself beside the chassis, it might be worth it.
But if you after putting a kit together it will be more expensive than buy a fresh kit.
So it is up to you really.
TT02 is not special or anything and they are plentyful.

L&L Models currently have a complete TT02 chassis kit with motor and esc available in stock for £95.
It do comes without wheel and tires tho'.
But there is a option to choose the motor turn in the kit.
They also have loads of bodies and wheels and tires available.

This looks the same only £60 so I think I may just grab it. I got a motor, servo and esc. I will get some wheels and a shell at a future date, I may even print them, I found the files for an escort RS2000 or there is a mk1 escort shell on Kamtec I could grab.

Is it the mk2 escort green on picts on thingsgiver ?

Looks more yellow to me but could be a very yellowy green. It doesnt look that great to be honest BUT it could be the quality of print and printed in draft not HQ. They have mk2 shells at Kamtec so at the worst I'd get one of those but would rather have a mk1 shell.

I've ordered a mini shell, nothing to put it on yet.. Another WIP

The one I wanted (too long print time for my friends) was apple green and all was opening. And made for m chassis.

So, would anyone happen to have an instruction manual for the HBX? I’ve looked on the net but can’t seem to download anything, I just keep getting spammed from the webpages. Thanks in advance.
