Team Orion esc, worth fixing?
 

Looks like I've blown my Orion Vortex 70A. Now its not an expensive esc to start with, but there isn't anything out now even remotely as cheap, so the question is - is it worth sending off for repairs?
How much do esc repairs cost these days anyway? The last thing I had repaired was a Mtroniks VHF900 back in '99 so I've no idea what it costs.....

Might be worth sending it and getting a quote before any work is carried out.

Should be free if its still under warranty

I've still got the card so could try the warranty trick. Only it was bought when Mirage were the importers, who does Orion now?
Suspect it my fault though. I've been jinxed with electrics this week!

I've googled it for you but i've drawn a blank.

Me too lol

its kyosho uk are the distributers but it all depends if you bought it direct from mirage or though a shop if its through a shop take it back there they will send it to kyosho if it was though mirage direct your screwed chuck it awy and bye a new one.

I'd still give Kyosho a call, it's worth a try.

good luck fella there is a thread under the electric section you may wanna read first neil at kyosho is pretty cool but the polisy is to take it back to where you got it and it will get delt with mirage on the other hand dont give a toss and no wonder they are not around now oh and nano at orion wont take it back either

Thats pretty poor customer service then. Looks like it's time to bin it afterall.

they're a bit crap to be honest. orion won't respond to any of my emails about my 70amp vortex. its a cheap but terrible product and wish i never got one. 6.5t motor limit? nah! i run a 9t with it and the case has started to melt lol. need a new speedo :(
