i would actually go rusty too. i know you guys like the others and so do i but let me give you an example. my brother (12yrs old) got a rusty and (not bad but he has only raced 2 races before but defiantly not great) races it with the t4s, xxx-4s, and stock buggy's, now i know it is not all about speed but my brother wins 2 out of every three races. He even beats the veterans drivers. why you ask (i know it is not all about speed) because his car does 30 on a fully charged pack while the others do like 22mph and he smokes them in the straights and carries much more speed in the turns. and for a rusty it does not handle that bad it actually is comparable to a higher end truck on a street track as far as handling. he also recently raced with a t4 stock with (orion lipo) and a Brushless stock xxx-t and also won. so i think that this speed will help make up for the wrecks you have to catch up on. in addition because it is a basher it is very durable. so if he crashes nothing never breaks and because it is so simple it is so reliable and that is 50% racing anyway because if your car does not run or breaks you lose. out of the whole time we have had it (6 weeks) nothing (i am serious) has broken. the only recommended thing you should do is put thread lock on the motor screws, but absolutely nothing has broking at all and we have been bashing racing, all terrain. it is so durable and reliable that my self just wants to get one so when everything else is not working i have something to play with. sorry for the long speech.
