I would not worry about having to put a 'Slow Blow' fuse in your controller in order to get it to power up. That may be normal.
Sometimes there are high inrush currents when powering up devices that require a SB Fuse in order to not blow.
If there really is a problem, the Slow Blow will blow anyway.
I just found a pic you took of inside your case. It is not what I was thinking. Yes, your speed controller is the front Circuit Board..
Don't worry about changing anything now.
Use your machine and learn about it. Learn the good and bad points.
It will be a quite a while before you will want to, and be able to, upgrade components you find wanting.
