Default caldera 10e beef

i've just bought my first truck rc and was wondering if i could get some ideas on beefing it up. already upgraded my batteries slightly to 7.2 4500. i would like to upgrade my tires, if nothing else to make them more realistic, and eventually purchase the gravedigger body. i know i can switch to lipo but what would give me the best results without damaging my speed controller or anything else for that matter. any other upgrades would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

also i'm not deffinate the esc is waterproof. if so is the fan also or what are my limitations for water. i would also like to ask about charging batteries. i,ve heard you need to trickle charge your nihms every once in awhile. would once a week be enough or maybe once a month? sorry for so many random questions but i want to make sure and get the best experience out of this, and thanks again.

You might want to check out the Redcat Racing forum on here.  There are a lot of mods for that and you can run up to 3s lipo without any problem.
