fire the flipper( 24v solenoid) and it trips the victors, use a seperate 24v supply and no problem.tried diodes, tried moving the solenoid and tried using a bec instead of a rx battery.using an electronise to fire the weapon, tomorrow will try a battle switch.all wires clear of motors etc.Drives like a demon until weapon fired.God help the walls of the arena!!!
