Welcome to the forum.
I'm not an authority on electrics, but I do know that more guys are shifting to brushless motors and hi power (lipo) battery systems.
19T class trucks do still get run, but I think it's better suited to the indoor track, which runs during the fall/winter season.
As for fun, it's all fun if you have fun and enjoy the challenge. A Stampede will not be able to hang with race-ready trucks, but you will still have fun and you may get the urge to move up in trucks to something that interest you more after you race against other guys.
If nothing else, you can certainly get on the track during open practice days and see if your setup is suited for racing before jumping into it on a race day.
