If you want the fastest setup, get the 4600 motor and use it on 4s Lipo. You would need to use an external power source for the receiver/servo (like a UBEC or receiver pack), but this would be worth it IMO.

My guess on the not-so-good performance is the quality of the battery pack - it's generic, with most likely weak cells, in a stick format, so it won't be able to supply the current the 7700 wants (and it wants a lot). Although it is rather strange that the ESC died...
