You really do get what you pay for with brushes. There is a reason those brushes are a dollar each. For applying scenery textures (mud / dirt / etc) they are fine, but for actual work on anything I wouldn't go near them.
Based on the picture you posted most of the work on the track could be done with basic hobby acrylics that you can pick up just about anywhere - although I don't know how they will work with an airbrush. Could also be done with rattle cans, but bottles will cost less. Golden also makes good paint that won't break your budget - it is in the same general price range (per oz) as Valejo, Army Painter, GW, etc.
I would also recommend setting up some test pieces. I have a few pieces of cardboard that I primed on my desk and a few models that I messed up / don't like for testing colors & techniques on. I've also tried to make some textured bits out of oven-bake clay, but so far they haven't quite worked out.
I also have these big 3d printed Battlemechs: I want to start model building etc so I didn’t just get the airbrush for the racetrack.
I already ordered that set of brushes. I got tired of weighing options. I started getting analysis paralysis.

Thats a good tip, for sure. I am already planning on making a spray booth using an indoor plant tent no longer being used.
