    Allied graphic fire control boards available from Snipehunter.

    Tired of the same old same old?

    Duel fire control with team specific graphic? Why not? Small too, and high amp and volt tolerant! Whats not to like?

    Contact snipehunter for pricing and details I'm happy with them, you should be too.

    My boats don't sail without snipehunters accessory driver boards,
    yours shouldn't either!

    Sweet! The drivers on that board are rated up to 60v and 5 amps. I'll add this to my 24v article.

    If an enterprising fellow would adjust the code on his firing board to make one side latching, this would be a great little board to run a gun and pump on a DD.

    Steve, kess has a auto pump driver board that is perfect (for me ). ON AUTO OFF on a single channel, not for everyone but I wouldn't battle without one.

    Thanks! May they only shoot your enemies.


    Changing the programming to make one side latching should be fairly painless, I can give that a shot. If there is demand for more than a one-off swapping one SSR for a high power MOSFET on the board would be worth looking into as that is likely a better solution. (cost & performance)


    Shhhh, don’t tell people about the auto pump switch. It’s easier to sink people when they forget to turn their pump on.

    Does it need a diode?
    Is it powered thru the reciever?
    Has it ever failed?

    If you have those SSR's wired in the 5A "C" configuration, then that is more than adequate for a DD or CL pump.

    The solenoids need diodes, a motor wouldn't.

    The board logic is powered by the receiver, the solenoid/motor is from the main battery.

    I haven't had one fail, I'm sure either one has or the sample size is too small. That's an unrealistic standard to hold anything to.

    They are, id still be cautious.

    Blank piece of phenolic? Easy to make and doesn't have to work?

    Is this why French is recommended for newbies, components are cheap!

    If you want one there can be. Any ideas for the art on the back (besides a white flag ;-) ). You get White on top of one other color from the following: Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Black, and White.

    I was only kidding. It doesn't make much difference to me whether they are styled or not. It's kinda hard to do anything other than a white flag with Vive La France across it with only two colors. ;)
