While I respect that a couple of you would buy a Rusty to race, here's the downfalls of it...

No adjustable camber links
Stock bushings in axle carriers
Differential isn't adjustable
Weak tranny without at least an AL Idler
No options for rear toe adjustments unless you buy an FLM chassis
Kinda heavy for a stadium truck
Narrow track width in front

IMO, the rusty is a very poor choice as a racer unless you like spending money to upgrade parts to make it tweakable. Out of the box it's a great basher, but it's just nowhere near the same class of racer as a XXX-T or T4. There's a reason you don't see anyone race a Rusty on the national level.
