the only other thing it could be is if you have the EPA on your radio turned down. they need to operate at 125% throttle for the spektrum series.
HobbyCity has some of the best most economical lipos made. their Zippy flightmaxx packs are as good as my thunderpower and enerland packs.

these Turnigy packs look like they are just re-badged flightmax packs with 10AWG wire. Alot of people are already saying they're just as good as the flightmax packs so you might wanna get a few while they last. I've seen stock levels drop 300-400 batteries in a day because of their prices.
