Default Electric motor shutdown?

I have recently developed a problem in my setup that has worked well until now.

I have a BM2408-21 (1750kv) Outrunner.

When connected to any of my ESC's (which are 15A and 25A) the motor will start turning, then shut down. I can reset it by moving the throttle to 0%, but can never advance the motor past about 10%.

Batteries are fully charged, have more than enough C rating, and I have tried operating on both 11.1v and 7.4.

With a watt meter attached and the motor is started, voltage only drops 0.2v and the motor pulls a max of 14W at 1.2A before it shuts down.

What could be happing here guys?
