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...
In my opinion a real DF03 chassis would be alot better, these small "No Name" companies are gaining nothing by doing something like this.
