I'm wondering if this was some OEM jobby from this company, buying only parts that they want from Tamiya at OEM prices and packaging, and they simply providing the labor to assemble it and package it RTR with all the motor, electronics, servo, transmitter, and battery...
Considering that the DF-03 is about $110 from HK now, I'm guessing that you can probably get the basic parts from Tamiya directly, of course in large volumes, for a basic DF-03 at about $50 or less....
That's just a guess, it would be cool if someone from Tamiya can comment on this "FS" buggy...

There is no way Tamiya will supply a third party with their parts in this way.
It'll be a reverse engineered car, just like the TT-01 clones that were doing the rounds a few years ago. They look the same, so much so that you think they must be OEM, but the parts quality was way, way lower than Tamiya.
