Considering that you can get a 4-oz bottle of Createx for $3.19 and you have to pay $4.29 for a 2-oz bottle of Faskolor, I'd say the Createx option is a fair bit cheaper. Even amortizing the shipping and a proper clearcoat, the Createx is the clear winner.
So says I.

With regards to acrylics scratching off, if it's just virgin paint (very recently applied) it'll come off quite easily and must be treated with care. I suggest giving it a week. Or two. It needs time to properly cure up.
Even then though it won't be impervious to damage.. if for example your suspension breaks mid-race and a tire rubs against a fender for the rest of the race you're going to have a bare patch where it was rubbing.
On the other hand though the kind of impact where the entire nose of your car is folded in on itself won't harm the paint at all.
I've done both. Many times.
If you're in a hurry, you can always hit it with a good strong non-acrylic clear, or even a pigment if you want.. Pactra White is commonly recommended on the forum.
Cheers, and happy painting!
