Yes, replacing it with the Worlds kit.
Any upgrades you do make to the car, don't buy anything that comes on the Worlds car. Do the BB springs, get some shock oils...if you're just now starting racing, buying spare caster blocks, arms, tires, and bulkheads will be a better investment until you learn to drive. No modifications until you get some real track time under your belt will help. Aside from tires. And you can use the tires on your Worlds car too
There's no shame in cutting your teeth racing with a stock RTR. Run the snot out of it. Make some mistakes. Play with roll centers and learn chassis tuning by trial and error. Do a lot of reading.
All of these will do you way more good than buying upgrades.
