I have a full battery and throttle all the way to take off the engine kills itsself.
What kind of battery and when was it charged?
If a battery is not up to the task, its voltage drops and the ESC (controller) cuts power to save the "remaining" juice for the radio system, and to prevent damaging the "depleted" battery. With a new battery, discharging and charging it a couple of times might "run it in".

YEA>>> Im a Newbie, and this is the exact reason I didnt want to start with an electric plane. I hate dealing with batteries [:'(]
When I started, I went for electrics because I thought I would hate dealing with fuel, filters, bubbles in the lines, fuselages flooded with fuel, wife screaming to get that smelly thing out of the house ...
