Makes sense. We will just do a brake or something to prevent it from sliding . . it barely does as is . . . and it doesn't when the power is off, so maybe we will just look at the jumper on the victor and switch it to stop the slide.

I guess testing is in order, but its not a huge problem.


Thanks for the replies.
