Well in my case, its not a case of being "put off" a car more so the "iron out the creases" factor. I really wanted to buy the TRF501X but was unsure of the package. The problem being that although the kit, or any new kit to be honest, is a new release it still takes the feedback from the public/"racer" to actually finish of the R&D ie shock shafts on the TRF501X. Not to mention any other creases that need ironing out on other new kits that have come out.
I have gone the other side of the spectrum by opting for the XX4WE based purely on the results its had in meetings etc. OK, the XX4WE is an old kit but there is plenty of reference here on the net with regards to problem solving and fixes/setups that make it a bareable kit. As well as the new kits come to think of it.
Thats my 10 penneth worth and I could be wrong.
