Hmm, maybe you could try programing the fail-safe to set the throttle to zero?

I agree set your fail safes and rebind. Also did you center the left stick? You can do it your self the manual shows you hoe to do it.

recalibrated the sticks sliders and right knob. then rebound rx adjusted esc's
and still had the same thing happen. once I try to change trucks the dump truck
goes into full reverse once it loses rf signal..

same thing for the quad king

all 3 trucks ran fine on the dx6. all could be powered on in stand by and
selected and driven while the other two were parked..

all 3 are back on the dx6 and running as should be. the esc's were not touched after
swapping from the dx9 to the dx6 and no reverse issue now

You should always recalibrate your ESC's to the new radio and once all the calibrating is done for all trucks and all servos and everything then rebind the radio's to the RX's. With the spectrum radio's when you bind the radio to the rx is when it sets the failsafe. So when you first set things up and then change them then it will change where the failsafe will be and sounds as if the failsafe is throwing the ESC's into reverse.

Info above is good. Make sure you understand, the position your sticks/switches are set when binding are setting the fail safe. If you're throwing reverse when binding, it's going to go to that position when rf is lost.

Throttle cut should not need to be used, if that's reversed, that's likely causing your issue.

Check your monitor section to make sure there's nothing strange going on.
