Anything new on the 543?

Are you serious? I must admit I was planning on waiting till some direct comparisons had been made to the 241 - but I might have to get you to ship it to Aus.It hasn't blown up yet.
Although it still has plastic bits a reportedly is distributed by Toys R Us.
Suppose the fate is somewhat sealed on this saw being I can't even give one away at cost plus free porting...........Just doesn't have that qualiity Stihl plastic I guess.
I didn't know it was for sale? Is it advertized somewhere?It hasn't blown up yet.

In testing this week with other saws, this 543 is 1-2 seconds behind a well broke in 550xp with MM and dead even with 5105 with MM. Same bar and chain, 14"ish wood.
Having to move on to customer saws soon, I'll be building another 543 Monday-Tuesday. Any one interested in running it and returning feed back to me/AS? Saw will be $450 shipped lower 48 ported. I'll maintain to warranty. Shoot me a PM.

No stress, I just know that I'll buy one of these two saws sooner or later. They are a good fit for a lot of my work.For this reason I want to get a pile of hours on some. Generally I buy these saws on my own dime to experiment and then when satisfied take on customer saws. To ship one to AUS this early probable wont happen.

I've been very impressed by the 241, but an option that keeps my bars and chains interchangeable is smart when I run three sub 50cc huskies atm.
I'll just keep watching with interest - but feel free to hurry up, I can't wait to f-off the 445 for one of these as it's definitely the weakest saw I own and it's relegated to "new guy saw" and is flogged because of it.
Mitch, I sent you the wrong saw.
Lol'd I wouldn't burden you with that thing.Throw in a R120S and it's a deal.
Yeah, shipping would be 140-160I'd take a 543 right away, the only deal breaker is I'm a little further away, so S&H is probably prohibative.

That would chew up a lot of the savings compared to buying local!Yeah, shipping would be 140-160
