Hey Hamid - Sorry about the late reply, I promised my kids we would go to the lake for the fourth, lol.
Actually buddy my favorite tail upgrade is this
http://www.castlerockhobbies.com/product_p/hdx300-15v3-b.htm
It is actually hdx (sonix) and it does require lite modification since your boom is 7.5mm and the tail case is 8mm, I use a slip collar but heatshrink works well also. The action is superior and the toughness of this tail upgrade is unmatched from everything I have tested. I do run it with the batwing align tail blades or the hdx tail blades to add that little bit of authority. This tail upgrade also gives you more pitch throw each direction so you gain a little authority by proxy. Pm me if you want one cause I discount parts for guys from my threads.
On the blades, the thinner blades will make it harder to maintain a hover and add quickness to your inputs in forward flight due to the reduced wing surface. When a blade is thinner its chord line is altered and therefore so are the characteristics of the lift it produces, the greater the angle of the chord line the quicker the response to input. Flying a shorter blade reduces drag and therefore increases headspeeds given thrust remains the same. Either way you will be required to alter your set-up if you choose to deviate from the stock blade size. On a helicopter, everything is give and take, there is no single adjustment you can make without compensation or offset in another area, if you change the length of the main blade to shorter there will be less drag so your tails authority will change and adjustment will be required to match them up again. I recommend the frp 288's myself, it is the only blade I run on my kings anymore, they are barely more than a set of woodies pricewise and they are 5 times as strong and offer good hover characteristics and forward flight control.
The 1500 esky battery is 10c like the stock battery, the only esky batteries that are 20c are the t-energy batteries that esky is selling (1800 & 2200). In a king I do not fly a battery over 110g no matter what numbers are on it, just because it will fly doesn't mean you should fly it. I do not like stressing my parts and really am not so old I cannot walk over and change a battery every 7 minutes when needed. I fly the outrage 1300 25c at 105g's and it gets me 7 minutes solid and I am ready to take a smoke break after that anyway, lol. They offer unreal performance, they are light and fit well even in a stock canopy, they do not cost much more than the cheap chinese no names and offer that crash replacement which to me makes it a no-brainer. The 1800 outrage is the only exception to my rule and it is used only when I am out of other batteries but I will use it cause once again the performance is there. These batteries will wake up the little esky brushless if that is what you have to run, but I still strongly recommend the 3800 if you go esky. If you do run the 3800 I would run either a 10t or an 11t on it, remember it is a torque motor and not designed to be flown with all of the pitch curve being in the higher rpms like headspeed motors, it creates its power in lower rpms. I just think there are better motors for $30 bucks out there that offer better quality and performance and same with the esc, these are not the areas to be short changing your helicopter.
On the 43t, I have no real opinion other than my experience with excessive belt wear and premature belt failure using a number of different methods of guiding the belt on to the pulley, it did offer better resistance to torque though so buy it if you feel you need it. You know microheli has come out with their new 44t billet bulley set-up but I have not had a chance to test it yet, my first one will be here first of the week and if it is righteous I will post my findings and recommendations, I will tell you I like the color better already though, lol.
Sorry about the lengthy post but wanted to answer all of your questions at once
