I see it every few weeks at our track. New guy shows up with an off-brand, then eventually realises it sucks after assuring the club it's fine and he likes "racing something different." There are about to be a bunch of used 2018-2021 T4's dumped on the market (with copious spare parts). Wait a few weeks and grab one of those and you'll be much further ahead.

*Xrays come with excellent manuals. If you don't get a manual with the kit they are available online plus lots of great videos on building and set-up. Honestly I hate to sound like a fanboy but its the only way to go.
