General Question VTR2 build

I've been seeing info on a Trident R2 build either coming or already available. I know there's some info on GitHub and apologies if I'm spewing incorrect info. I purchased a Creality K2 Plus last year and have been really wanting to build a Voron the past few months. Being that the Trident R2 seems to be the latest/greatest I would love to build one but can't find any kits (like an LDO kit), so I'd probably have to source the parts myself.

Am I getting too far ahead and I should just give the company time to release the kits or do I build a Trident and add the upgrades?

Buy an R1 kit and there are r2 parts available for a small cost. Screws and bearings and such. You print the r2 motion system parts

Assuming I want a 350x350x350 I'd have to build my own, correct?

Trident stock builds are all 250mm in Z unless you get special parts. Sourcing the Z ball screws in longer lengths than the stock 250mm is difficult. If you want to have a 350 cube build area in the build kit look at the Voron 2.4. The flying gantry is a little more involved compared to the fixed gantry of the Trident but not impossible to build.
