I would suggest going down the brushless route. The car you mention looks very simliar to the Associated B4, perhaps some parts would be common, which could potentially help if you break anything whilst racing, as the B4 is a popular model.
It's a very valid point re where you can get spares, if you can get them locally that's a bonus.
Regarding trucks, they are a different class, you could be racing in your own class until more like minded people come along. I would suggest stick with either 2wd or 4wd buggies where there is a healthy number of racers already, and you can race the most. You might find you would have to race your truck amongst buggies anyway, which would be fine at club level, but to take part in any bigger competitions you may be more limited.
