Question Skyrc speedo repairs

Bought a Skyrc Toro 120a speed controller from eBay last week.
Wired it up and it was working great at the club for about 7-8 minutes when it just cut out as I was coming onto the straight. It is now totally unresponsive. It doesn't respond to anything. No fan on, no lights etc etc. Tried different batteries and it does nothing.
Seller I bought it from has said to get it repaired and they will cover the cost. (I have already asked for a refund or exchange but they want me to go down the repair route).

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that repairs these speed controllers?

Cheers
Paul

Sorry mate Paddy had a problem with that speedo too on Thursday.

I'm unsure how much the guy charged me but have a word with Ash and get in touch with him...it may work out cheaper to buy another one

Hi paul, i have bought a toro 120a esc from steve webb to replace the sp one i blew on thursday and it looks different to that one. It may well be a fake one you have bought
Have a look at this http://www.insidelinemodels.com/insi...oy-esc-black-p
This is exactly how mine looks, not how the one in your ebay link looks.
I might be wrong but there are a lot of fakes on the bay apparently

As you can see the heatsink machining is very different. Report it to ebay if you are not happy pal

Also look here to compare http://www.skyrc.com/TS120_Aluminum
