sence you got the RTR and already have a new motor and tires and getting the plastic links changed out. The next thing you should upgrade is the shocks. I would go with either Traxxas big bores or Losi crawler shocks. Also invest in delrin skid that moves the links to the inside of the chassis. Other than that you should be good for a while. Once you get some wheelin time in you can go further with it IE: new esc with drag break, nice 3 ch FM or specktrum radio, Dig. Have fun with it!
