I just picked up the Caldera 3.0:

I am looking to do some upgrades.
Already thinking about this lipo:

and this charger:

Would also like to upgrade to metal servos and either a larger gas tank or run a secondary tank. Suggestions would be great.
If there are other upgrades I should do please throw them out there.
EDIT: Do I need an adapter for the charger to go to a house outlet? Will it work with my car battery? What is the expected charge time and run time with this set up?
I know lots of questions. I'm a newb to this world. I grew up building Jeeps not RC cars haha.
I'm a little confused. You have a Caldera 3.0, Nitro right? What are the lipo's for? Yes you can put a bigger tank with some modification. Alloy steering knuckles are a must for the Caldera, leave everything else plastic. That charger needs a 12v power supply or a car battery for power.
The lipo would be so I could recharge it. I don't want to be replacing batteries all the time.
Suggestions on modifications for the tank?
I finally broke the engine in and got the car tuned pretty good with my skill level. This thing is so much fun.
Why do you only suggest metal hubs and nothing else?
