New to the hobby and picked up a V2. Only issue is that the speed control does not work. It runs fine forward and reverse but not with the adjustable speed. I have searched a little but haven't found much in the way of replacements or other options that may exist. So if anybody has suggestions I would love to hear them.

I purchased a 90vdc speed controller in a water-resistant aluminum chassis that is connected to my V2. Much better quality and more features compared to the OEM part from UT.

I FRIED MY CONTROLLER WHEN I WS WORKING ON IT.
The controller is pretty simple, a bridge rectifier (4 diodes) a SCR and a pot.
I replaced a few of the diods, and the scr, and got it back working.
but a complete 90 volt controller would work pretty easily. you may need a seperate bridge rectifier to feed the controller. Some of them have it built in.
