My X7 LR Finally Arrives this week, it's my first VESC and I need settings suggestions

So I've been waiting on my X7LR for a long time and it finally arrives in the next week (it was held up by typhoons and all manners of delays) Im a very experienced GT rider, I can hit jumps and do a few tricks, I've brought several friends and family members into the onewheel world, but I'm totally new to VESC. I saw a few posts with comments about VESC settings, (such as an option to turn off something that would cause the board to shut off while riding at speed if the sensor is disengaged) and things of that nature. Are there any critical things I need to know about VESC to get a good experience? I'd rather learn from your experiences and not the hard way of being thrown off at speed. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
