Competion Chinese saw thread

Ok, I have a bid in on a saw now. Really would like to find a 62cc victim but so far nothing for under $100. Does the victim have to be new in the box?

 

No. Don't think it needs to be new. And there will have to be 2 clasess. We can't run a 40 cc against a 60 cc .

I'm thinking 45cc- 55cc and then 55cc - 65cc?

What type of saw you looking at?

I'm trying to get me an auto tune before the GTG. Preferably a Stihl, somewhere in the 70cc category! ?!

 

I am bringing my beat to heck and back super 034 even if it doesn't get to race in a class. Prolly gonna pick up a few new chains too. Theat blue max might get a chusky competitor if I can talk my buddy ( yes you rich ) into letting me take his along for the ride. What happens at GTG stays at GTG

And make a account already Rich the guys will love you.

 

It's a 52cc/20" but it's orange.

And why the hurry on an mtronic/AutoTune? Why not wait until the G2G and run mine? Although they may not be stock by then....

 

So you have some competition

By "Orange" do you mean a Husq/Poulan (like the 235/240 series?)

 

There are 3 distinct saws out there at the moment, 45cc, 52cc, and the 62cc. So a 40/50/60cc class break makes a lot of sense. Chain will make a lot of difference here too. Be interesting to run the saws with stock and modded chain.

 

I think it's the same as your BlueMax, just orange.

 

Maybe a new chain race for the stock run but they have to be the same no skip tooth....

 

Skip ain't gonna help in this category anyways.

I have a feeling we will be able to swap a common Bar/chain for an apples to apples comparison.

 

Petey likey

 

That sounds good.. I like the equal playing field. Once we establish which is the fastest, then it goes to the chains

 

So are we settled on a saw class then ? That 58cc is looking like a winner at $134!

 

The victim arrived late last night! FedEx delivered it at 10pm, which I thought was a bit odd but whatever......

I even cut a little wood with it today. I was really surprised how well it ran out of the box. The chain immediately went on the grinder as I could tell it was going to cut circles. We had a few teething pains but now she has quite an appetite!

She's 52cc with supposedly a 20" bar on it, but it measures out to be 18" from the spike.

 

What brand is that one MM ? It looks just like the ebay $99 52cc I was checking out today.

 

They all seem to have the same On/off switch, choke lever, and throttle lock? Mine appears the same, as does ironponys (his on/off is a different switch, but same place, different hardware).

I think that they are all the same "Make", just sold under different colors.

Can you snap some close ups ofthe back of the saw (choke, on/off, etc)? And also the muffler?

 

Planning on this happening in May!! At least to mine! Running lean and high RPM!! Yeah baby!!

 

O man I can't wait! Are you gonna come and blow one up clem? I think I am going for the 58cc next weekend I just can't resist it….. We might have to wear bomb suits and face shields.
