I looked over the three wire harness and related traces and everything seems fine.  I will try the tank in an hour or so and in the mean time switch out the three wire from my Jagd. just to make sure.  <div>
</div><div>I read the manual again and found no way to remove failsafe so I must have it.</div><div>
</div><div>I removed the recoil when I first set it up but it seems to have come back...  I like the DBC because I can have the momentum, no track recoil and no super spin.  It makes it perfect for my silly movies.  All this was part of my grand plan for movie stars that kick a##.</div><div>
</div><div>I still have hope, I'm not stressed, Phil is on it, you guys are out there, and after all, it's a toy, one I REALLY like, but not something I need to survive.</div>

Perhaps you need to look at the RX 18 3 wire socket as well. Perhaps that is where the problem is?

I think I have fixed it.  I switched out the RX-18 and the 3 wire harness and have now gone through 5 start up/ shut down cycles with no problems.  It works perfect now.  <div>
</div><div>I did some other tests before switching the main board and they did not help.  This seems to have solved the problem.</div><div>
</div><div>Thank you all for the great advice.  With your help I was able to find the pathway to a solution faster than I could have on my own.  Now I'm going to e-mail Phil so he can relax a little, I know he is busy right now.</div>

Sweet!

Banana Hobby has RX-18s for $8 if you need a replacement.

Good news. So at the end it was not the DBC at all?, correct. More an RX18 thing? Again as I guy who sells these, I am most interested understanding the trouble people may be having.

It seems to be fine now.  It does feel great!  <div>
</div><div>It does seem to have been a issue with the RX-18 and not the DBC.  I always thought there could be 4 possible places to look for the problem; me, the DBC, the RX-18, and the transmitter.  Switching the RX-18 was the cheapest and least trouble to try so I am glad that was it.  Switching me was the one I dreaded the most. </div>
