I'm on the fence. The tub looks pretty well moulded, so if it's a fake, it's convincing. However, the elaborate alloy servo mount and the apparently unnecessary screws on the underside of the tub, plus the rear body mount post brace holes are in the wrong location for the stock brace, suggest it's not official (or it's an unpolished prototype).
