I use one I've fallen in love with ( and I've gone through a LOT of oils over the years) called Liberty Oil.
It's widely used by watchmakers and clock repair techs. Also used in RC cars.
Perfect viscosity and lasts forever.
EDIT: I meant the BOTTLE lasts, not the OIL lasts ... The oil does last a long time between applications, but this is OIL people, it will need reapplication from time to time.
Doesn't get gummy from time & heat either.

Get used to the car would be my first recommendation followed by maybe a 2s 30c 5000mah battery and charger to support a lipo battery.
After that replace what you broke with better parts or upgrade if you feel it is too slow/sluggish.
I wouldn't worry too much about the tires just yet, wait until you get some experience to really know what the tires are/aren't doing that you do or don't like. pro line trenchers are great monster truck tires, but you may not want monster truck tires....tires/wheels go along with what you want to accomplish...if you don't know yet, leave it stock, wheel/tire combos can get expensive esp when you don't know/aren't sure.
Oh and congrats on settling on a car. Understand this is a beginner car, great for you to learn on and see where you want to go. I wouldn't put a lot of money into it, tbh, just learn. I can get you uncontrollably fast if that is where you want it to be but it will cost more than the car is worth (between bullet proofing and upgrading the motor/esc).
edit: as far as first thing I would get other than battery, rpm servo-saver elminiator

Get some bearing oil (keep bearings cleaned and lubed, once a week if in mud...once a month if not)

Get a good set of tools, I got one of these to start with and it works for most cars...A lot of people don't like the interchangeable drivers and go for the solid driver kits.
