woohoo another 8th shell, I like 8th shells
That's a cool kit even if it is a RTR, you get everything you need to start. The only think I'd say to upgrade for now if you can is the Steering and Throttle Servo's. Savox are good and widely used, plenty of others are great too, Ace, HiTech, KO. They come up on here quite regularly.
The rest is fine out of the box, and as you've said you can upgrade. Great starting platform to learn from too !
Keep us all posted how you get on ! And obviously some pictures when I've done your shell
