About the motor. If it works and starts/runs good, you could use it to become familiar. It will eventually give you trouble though. Get a good motor and have lots more fun with power to throw the thing around and really use the suspension. He's right, the more power you have the more the ability of the buggy will show.
I like the OS VZ-B VSpec. It is powerful, has great low end, great top end and is easy to break in and tune. Once you break it in, it just runs and runs. You don't have to tweak it unless you want that extra 2% power out of it.
Use 30% nitro fuel like O'donnels but you are not in the states so you can probably find good quality 25% nitro fuel. Use afterrun oil when you are done for the day and keep the insides in good shape.
I didn't see a temp gauge in the list, get one. There are many that are modest in cost but useful. Use a heat gun unless the temperature is hot outside. Get the engine nice and warm before you start it up and the compression will stay for a long time.
If you have trouble starting, change to a new glow plug and try it. If that doesn't work, go over things logically, one step at a time.
And most of all, have fun.
