RE: my t-rex spins too fast!!! help please
you said you were a newbie, So there are many common "beginner" errors in your setup that could have caused the heli to yaw left.
1) gyro not installed or set up properly. ie. servo or gyro reversed. not enough gain, or servo throw, incorrect gyro mode, inibited in the radio.
2) belt twisted the wrong way causing the tail blades to spin backwards.
3) tail blades installed backwards. trailing edge first.
We need some picture or you need some local help. If its not sorted out by now.

edit: of course I read your #1 option wrong and thought you missed it. Silly me for jumping to answer.
