5D mkiii strobe sync speed

I've just upgraded to a 5Dmk iii. Using this for the first time with studio strobes I'm finding that I can only sync at 1/60th, whereas my 40D syncs at 1/125 with the same radio trigger. Not much good for movement shots! Thoughts on this are:

- is radio tigger too slow for 5D/iii? If so what's best?
- is shutter that much bigger that it takes that much longer to start its pass? Can this be adjusted? Whilst there's a camera flash menu, there is no obvious menu for strobe lighting sync.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Just as a footnote, if you get a mkiii and use Apple, you cannot see raw images in Preview. Adobe have an upgrade to let you see them in Bridge.
