Fried Solenoid for lunch anyone?

So I am about to buy my 3rd solenoid...

What I think keeps happening is the solenoid is getting a low voltage, causing an internal arc and welding the internal parts in place.

Magician Saddle Bags/ Containers

Does anyone know of a saddle bag or container I can mount to the Magician for $50 or less?

Are there some that people are using for the Hawk that may work for the Magician?

Thanks
