    We had everything from a stock 45cc Earthquake to a "stock" 58 cc at our spring G2G in Ohio. Dex had a 58cc powerhead wearing Earthquake clothes there. To my amazement, my 52 cc handily won our little informal race. I knew it ran ok but still....

    I've played around with a 45cc 'quake and a Dremel to good results. Wound up with a saw that would cut with an 025 (maybe a tad more) for 1/6th pf the price.

    I thought my 58 cc saw was something. I have videos of it running with my 55 Rancher and a little behind the 362 when new. But there it was a turd..

    As for the 365 in that link.. Maybe I messed up (4 times). But don't do it. I have to call my bank in the morning. This may be a headache.

    Did you buy four when you were drunk? Or accidentally put 4 in the cart or hit buy 4x? How are you already messed up can you not email the seller and say you dont want them?

    I am clicking the link now to see the saw

    :picard:


    I tried to order ONE saw.. The first time it said there was an error (I've been known to mess up a number or two), so I tried again, error, again, error.. Clear as mud, eh?

    I guess when you want something? You want it? So I kept trying. And its not like eBay. Things are not always as simple as one may think.

    Yea I guess trying to talk to a cyber store owner 2 continents away who barely speaks english could be hard.

    And I did not mean what I said to offend you just couldnt figure out how you accidentally ordered 4 saws. But what you said makes sense.

    I really wanted one.. And I was more than willing to pay the $270. Get a Hyway cyl, Meteor, or used OEM and it may be a decent saw.. They definitely look like a 365xt.

    I didn't get charged for any...

    It's the call I got from my bank afterwards that is concerning.

    How long did it take the bank to call? What exactly triggered that? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Within minutes they called. Because I tried to spend $270 several times. Granted none went through, and my bank was called again today. Just to ensure if anything happens in the future, I am covered.

    I sent them a message. But have had no reply at all.

    Now when I ad something to my cart, it says "undeliverable" before I even go to check out.

    From what I understand you have to pay important fees on anything larger than $250 and have it pass through customs. Thats just been what I have gathered from brief research.

    I could be wrong on the exact cost though. Maybe that has something to do with it???
