Hard to pin the problem here... wouldn't be too quick to blame the extra battery weight (perhaps position though), with only 3g difference between that nanotech and the stock Eflite.
FWIW, my (pre-ASX) Beast UMX flew out of the hand on its maiden with maybe a click or two of trim (aileron, iirc). I've flown it on 2S/120mAh and 2S/180mAh without noticeable difference. I keep the smaller battery a bit further forward, as the 2S/180mAh does need to be quite deep.
Did you push the battery in as far as it will go? When you up'ed the rates, what exactly were they set to? Don't know about the ASX version, but the original is pretty twitchy - at high speed with full rates it'll snap roll twice in a blink!
