Well, it depends how much it has in common with the real HPI Baja. We know a lot about the real deal, but basically, unless someone provides us with detailed pics, we don't know what the differences are. This is certainly the first I've heard about the car, but I can't say I spend much time looking at clones in general.
Here's a list of things it would be interesting to see, if you can grab some more photos...
Inside of the wheels
Thickness of shock shafts
Inside radio box
Underneath the gear cover
Clutch
Is it mostly hex screws or phillips?
Carburettor and engine
And if you get around to taking out the diff (I suggest you do, in order to check if it has any oil in it, as even the HPI does not, as standard), then a photo of that would be good too.
That will help us give you a good assessment of how it compares to the real deal, if you fancy taking the time. If you look at jtkntz's thread about the KM, you can see the type of questions people were asking.
Also, after you run it, check if there's any evidence of the corners of the rear lower a-arms rubbing on the inner beadlocks of the rear wheels, as this happens on the HPI car, and really needs axle extenders to solve.

Baja clone but not a King motors - 
Of course I'm just joking, but you never know.
I like my $550 KM better
