Hi and welcome to the forum 

Im guessing your using the usb or wall type charger that came with the car ?

If you are that could be the problem as they usually dont allow you to storage charge the lipo so you end up storing them flat or fully charged  which degrades the lipo

Investing in a decent charger

Something like this will do the job and allow stori g of your lipo's at storage charge

Ok will it charge it faster

[Stormbringer]

Yes it should as you charge at 1c so a 1000mah battery will charge at 1A or a 5000mah will charge at 5A

Always ballance charge them before use and storage charge after finnished using them 

It might be to late for batteries you already have but it may help them

Can I ask for lipos, what would be the storage charge? 

[Stormbringer]

If you select storage charge on the charger it does it automatically

If i remember right its 3.7 to 3.8 v per cell
