In my experience, you don't take on other fast robots. Instead, you have to outwit them. If you're being chased by other runners, then lead them to your allies.

The shield cossack is made to capture beacons and then distract the enemy. In Yamantau, if you manage to capture the enemy beacons near their own base, then they will chase you down. In that case, you can divert the enemy to moving away from the middle beacon into chasing you. Once you lure the enemy to behind the spawn, you can let them get close and do damage. I ususally eject right before they kill me. At this point, you've successfully distracted the enemy from the center and I usually follow up with a patton or a rogatka.
