I was impatient and wanted to try it out so I ran it for ten minutes or so. Put it back on charger and it ran for 30 minutes and only went to 1650 the second time. I thought the battery may have came half charged? I have read the instructions several times and don't know what went wrong or what I did wrong.

Sorry for rambling but just wanted to get all the details. Any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Yah usually lipos come about half charged, also it will never say that a full 4000mah was put into it the cuttoff in your esc will stop it at a certain voltage and there will still be like 1000-1200mah left in it always
