I am thinking about swapping it out for last years and see if the problem still occurs. I saw someone post about isolating the power converter, ours is attached to the frame, we assumed that since it was a big heat sink this would help keep it cool. Is isolating this from the frame really necessary? I did not see this in the rules. We might give it a shot anyway to see if it helps.
Thanks!

I only suggested isolation because it turns out to work for us. The radio reset every time we slammed into something or changed directions fast. We figured it had something to do with the converter, as the radio was secured and the DC converter was firmly wired to the PDB. It must have had something to do with the sudden change in power,
Sorry I don't have any solid evidence as to why this would work, or the full reasoning behind it. I just know it works for us.
