If you motor temps are still low enough you can always try pulling a higher gear on your motor (a slightly larger pinion), but only if it is running cool enough already to do so.

With regards your servo, if you are not worried too much about its lifespan (assuming it is just a budget Futaba you have) you can try "hotwiring" it, which involves removeing the "red" lead from the servo plug and connecting it ot the 7.2volt battery feed/connector on your ESC. It will reduce the overall life of your servo (although it wont casue it to fail straight away as a result or anything). It simply gives the servo 7.2 volt instead of between 5.4 and 6 volts that it gets when it powers through the reciever...... Failing that you may have to invest in a better servo if you feel that is what is holding you back
