Where can I buy a 40 MHz radio controller for a kid's toy?

[BetsyClark]

Hello

My boy got a radio controlled car from Santa, and the controller was dropped and is knackered. Any ideas where I can buy a replacement? E-bay not returning anything sensibly priced as they appear to be professional controllers and not for kids.

Many thanks

Betsy

You could maybe contact themodelshop.ie to see if they have any - based in Portlaoise [broken link removed]

or Green Hobby & Model in Harold's Cross [broken link removed]

or http://radiocontrolledshop.ie/ in Ballymount

If this was an inexpensive radio control car, you will probably need to get the exact same controller, and those are unlikely to be sold separately. The signal encoding is likely to be different between different manufacturers and even models by the same manufacturer.
