Is there much difference between the two (45 cc and 38 cc)
Yes, I was discussing that upthread. The 38cc is based on the RedMAx G3800, while the 45cc is based on the RedMax G450 to G5000 family. Totally different (and heavier) saw, but interesting nonetheless.

I'm just taking a break from clearing a lot of brush and limbing small branches with mine. Dropped a couple of 7" trees, bucked up some larger ash yesterday. It's been working great, and the only problem I had was when I briar pulled out the oil line from the fitting on the tank. Only took a couple on minutes to fix that. It's great for swinging around, and the A/V has kept my hands from tingling.

I wish I had done a better job on the muffler mod - it runs great but is louder than it needs to be.
 
I was in Cabela's picking up some firearms related items and low and behold there sits an Earthquake, $179.99 forgot to look to see if it was 38cc or 42cc.

This being on the DL is killing me; went too the local casino yesterday and dropped $300 when I could have work on saws

Looks like the Redmax G5000's long lost cousin... not much power but it cuts wood I guess. AV is not great either.
On the original or the copy? I don't know much about the G5000 other than looking at an IPL.
