Default What's wrong with my setup?

I bought a new E-flite Mini Ultra Stick PNP. It came with a Park 450 motor, and E-flite 22 amp BL ESC installed. I bought a E-flite 3S 11.1V 2200mAh 30C battery (recommended to me by the LHS guy) to go with this setup. My problem is, when The motor is at a complete stand still, and I gun the throttle, it doesn't instantly run up to RPM like another electric I have does. Instead, it lags for a second, then spins up slowly and then gets going fast. But there is a big hesitation before it gets up to the proper RPM's that coincide with the throttle position. And if I leave it at full throttle, within 10 seconds the motor cuts off completely. If I cut the throttle all the way and then increase throttle, it starts working again. The motor gets hot very quickly. I'm not too familiar with electrics, and that's why I wanted to start with one that was already set up for me for the most part. But I'm wondering if something is wrong with my setup. Can anyone tell me what's going on with this?
