I recently bought a tmaxx 4908 with the extended chasis and i have done a couple upgrades like new shocks, aluminum shock towers, steel constent velocity drive shafts and steel center drive and a steering servo. I'm wondering if there is any thing else i should change right away or did i get most of the basics let me know what esle you guys think i should get.

IMO---
I wouldn't change ANYTHING---
Why replace it, if it ain't broke?
I would get a roll cage and that's about it.
When something brakes i would upgrade it.

I would get alluminum bulkheads to add to your list and you may also wanna look into RPM upper and lower control arms

Don't buy Integy. It'll break right outta the package....Kinda like the Losi Comp Crawler.
Lunsford for turnbuckles, Flextek for Arms (or RPM, depends on your wallet), R/C Solutions for shafts. That's how'd I'd do it.

No they will not fit the extended chassis but it will fit the front. You'll prolly have to get a custom driveshaft like I did. Its hard to figure out what driveshaft you need when you dont buy the chassis yourself. Most of the time when you buy a extended chassis it comes with the longer driveshaft. You could try this. When you have the truck together measure from the pinion on the tranny (the end of the pinion) and then to the differential (again at the end of the pinion) then convert it to millimeters and that should in theory give you how long your cvd driveshafts should be. I'm pretty sure thats how you'll figure it.
