Hi Randy
My first request would be for you to obtain a watt meter and see just how much power your combo is making. Trying to diagnosis the "problem" without one is very difficult. If your Kaos is 5lbs ready to fly I would shoot for 500W to start. Yes it will fly on less, but I don't suppose it will be very much fun.
I don't know an awful lot about your motor honestly. Is [link=http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6231]this[/link] one it? If the motor specs out to 500/600KV I think your being overally optimistic trying to fly the model on only a 3S pack. To make my 500W goal your pack would have to supply say 50A @10V! Somehow I doubt thats going to happen.
Let me know how you make out.
