Scale F-150 (Should it stay scale?)

This is my first attempt at a scale build. It is currently a running model but needs to have the details on the body finished. I am yet to do any painting. Four batteries are mounted in the dash and two are under the passenger seat. The two under the seat help to offset the torque twist. The ESC and the Receiver are mounted under the hood. My purpose for this truck is to build a truck that looks scale, handles well and can be used primarily for rough terrain but can also bash (trail use, not jumping etc.) with the change of a few minor things. Any suggestions on how to improve it are appreciated. Below are the spects:

Tranny: Locked Pede
Chassis: Super Stock Clod racing chassis (had it already so I figured why not?)
Axles: TLT (locked rear, open front)
Tires: Currently stock TLT, will change in future
Motor: Stock TLT
Steering: Front Futaba S3010
ESC: Dynamite Tazer 15 T reversible (cost $20.00 new)
Receiver: JR 135
Radio: JR R-1 Pro
Body: Tonka F-150
Suspension: Stainless 4-link
Battery: 6 cell GP3300 in custom pack.
