If you're club racing - I wouldn't even give it a second thought. We have about 12-13 guys that run at our local track, and I think 5 have the Xray 2016 car. This past Wednesday I lapped the guy that normally beats me, twice, with an Associated 5.1. Granted, he had trouble with back-markers a couple of times. and overall I had a fairly clean race.
It's all about driving and having some fun. You will be competitive with that car, trust me. Get the car put together, look for tips on the build in the Xray 1/12 thread, and then pound out the laps. It'll be fun!!
Good luck!
