2. 11.1v 3 cell 20C continuous discharge (100A) 5000mAh
max burst rate 40C (200A) min discharge volts per pack 9.0V
max volts per pack 12.6v

Either of those is fine. I'm using 3s 2200 25C packs on my phantom quadcopter and thats plenty of power. I believe it'll be some issue with your setup of ESC etc. Go through it step by step, re bind, re calibrate and start eliminating things.
