Default DBC installation trouble

I need some help from some of you DBC users.

I am installing a DBC into my T-34/HL conversion.

-Tank worked fine before I did the following.
-I cut the wires between the RX and ESC boards, soldered them to their proper spots on the DBC, hooked up the 5v wire, powered up and nothing. Lights just blink.
-So I switched the tank off, pulled the DBC board out, inspected it, then put it back in.
-Powered up again and it worked!
-Switched off the tank, pulled the board out again and installed some jumpers (the recoil blocking and weight configuration)
-Put the board back in and powerd up. Nothing, just blinking lights.
-Removed the DBC and disconnected the 3 wires between the ESC and RX boards.
-Replaced the 3 wires with a set from another tank.
-Powered up and the tank works.

Am I right in thinking that there is probably a problem with the 3 wire set that runs between the ESC and RX (broken wire or connection)?

Make sure youe solder points one teh 3 wires on either side of the DBC do not have a short. I almost had one in mine.
