Holy Hell! Y’all can thank me for this, I scratch built one, and you know what happens when you scratch build something in this hobby! 
And what’s really bad, is that I’ll probably still buy one

Hopefully, they will fix the sprocket goof-up:
Drive wheel center cap screw up:
Real thing:
And wrong track type:
I get a sick feeling they may not however.

What’s wrong with the tracks?
The sprocket? No bolts?
They should be T158LL tracks with open center guide teeth. They have solid guide teeth since they are rubber band tracks. They look pretty soft and blobby too.
There are too few bolts. Should be 16, only has 12.
The center caps look accurate/close enough to me.

As Gino said, they should be T158LL with hollow center guide teeth, not the solid.
Plus, too many sink marks. For the price, every other manufacturer provides better looking plastic tracks.
The sprocket is a big disappointment. Not only less surrounding under-scaled bolts, the center cap is completely wrong, and it’s hard to fix it w/out replacing the whole thing.
Real thing:
My CAD based on the photo:
Their excrement - see the highlighted:
The drive wheel center cap needs a lot more “fins” around:

You’ll find Academy Sep 2’s and Rye Field’s version center caps much more accurate with the details. Sure, I’m bordering “rivet counter”.

I’m glad that you’re looking closely.
Awesome. I’m building the Panda M1 and now I can build the M1a2 SEPv3. Then I just got to fill in all the variants in between!!!
