Default speed controller repairs?

Hi all,

As an uncoordinated, banana fingered, blind idiot, I wired my speed controller the wrong way for a fraction of a second

It worked fine afterwards but after about ten mins of running it stopped sending power to the motor... All lights work and it doesn't smell burnt out.

Is there anywhere I can send it to to get it fixed? It's an Orion r10 pro and was making my xray t3 go brilliantly with a 3.5 motor before I so stupidly fried it

thanks in advance chaps

Actually I got a quick response back from Orion saying it's unlikely it'll be economical to repair but to send it back and they'll take a look...
Will do this...
Wish me luck!

See what they say, but if they want to bin it get it back and I'll take a look. Have recently repaired 2 of these that were connected backwards, if you're lucky the damage isn't too bad
