Default T-Rex 450SA arf starting out questions

I got a 450sa cheap (read did a few hours work and it got handed to me) and am wondering what needs to be done to it.
I am not new to RC or helis but have never owned a t-rex so I am not that familiar with thier quirks

I am looking for tips and warnings about things to improve easily and warnings of things that have failed on other machines that I should be on the lookout for

so far from searching the forum and such I have got these tidbits

1: ditch the plastic tail drive and upgrade to the metal
2: ditch the idler on the tail as it wears the belt faster.


the current equipment I have in it is
the arf combo motor and ESC (3550Kv)
3 HS-65hb
HSG-5083mg
HG-5000 gyro
2200mAh electrifly pack
7ch hitec RX
futaba 9C radio
so far I have 3 flights on it mostly hovering some forward getting the pitch and throttle curves set

ad yes I am DLing the Finless Bob videos as we speak...err type... whatever
Thanks in advance
