Got on the phone with customer service and sounds to them like they have to replace the motor. Something wasn't right and they were surprised it passed quality control. Luckily I live in portland so I'm going to take it in next week. Gotta appreciate the customer service at Skutt!

Hey all So I got a brand new (the red) skutt classic wheel. I've been excited to try something new! And was sold on the big motor and SSX upgrade to help with volume. Well, I have to say this wheel is louder than any brent or notoriously loud wheel i've ever used. It's hard to focus sometimes while I'm throwing. I know new motors means new brushes and they have to get seated and all that good stuff. But I've been using it for over a week and the noise hasn't gone down a bit. Even ran it in reverse (which is much louder, as assumed) for a while and nothing helped. I'll attach a video just so you know what I'm working with. I'm not a stranger to a loud electric motor but this feels a bit excessive.

Hey all - I’ve took on the task of helping a friend fix a couple old shimpos. I’ve read the other threads and manuals - tried the wheel spinning trick and nothing seems to be working. At this point i’m wondering about switching wires on the controller to get it counter clockwise. I’ll include a photo of the controller, mainly wondering if anyone knows which wires switched will do it. I figure it has to be this yellow green and red, just not sure which and don’t want to fry anything (to the left is the lamp) The controller contacts look really clean and no corrosion. The wheels were donated and she teaches at a school and wants them to be counter clockwise. I know in eastern countries it’s mostly clockwise and not much of a difference for learning but it’s just what she wants. Thanks for any help!
