Default JETI 18 ESC Problem

I'm running a Speed480 direct drive with a folding 6x3. I've tried it with a 8x1700mah set and also a 7X720 mah set, I ran the static motor with both packs and before the TX throttle reaches the top it shuts, off the motor and signals an overload. I don't understand how this can be. The motor specs say it runs at 16 amps,I haven't got a meter I can put on it, but the safety isn't supposed to kick in until twice the rated capacity. I pulled it out of that plane and put it in a Wattage Tangent which was rated for a 15A ESC, and the same thing happened it died around 85% of the throttle. I'm new to electronics and will have a meter soon, but I thought I'd ask just in case I overlooked something simple.
