Yah, that guy PILTZ has been busy on Ebay again. If you do not know who he is, he sells 40-60cc size Stihl "HOT" saws with really long low profile Canon bars on them with Stihl Picco PS loops. Like, MS180 saws with 28 inch bars and 8 pin rims. No other mods, just the long bars, big rims and loops. I mean, I like long PNW bars and all, but this guy is ridiculous. All he talks about is chain speed and has nothing to say about torque. Sad that, as power = torque x revs. He seems to think that power is all from chain speed alone and swears by it. In my world of engineering, longer bars require smaller rim drives for more torque and less speed. Otherwise the torque drops to a level that the chain and cutting resistance will just bog the saw. Apparently that does not happen in PILTZ land where the laws of physics do not apply. He advocates larger rims on longer bars. Say what? Never mind not needing an oil pump upgrade to keep those long bars wet, or that Picco bars are pretty thin and that length and thinness will create some real problems cutting in big wood. Hell, even my 026 with a 16 inch Picco B&C is pretty flexible. I also run that with a 7 pin rim at most.
Anyway, now he is writing 'expert' pearls of wisdom like,
"Our favorite saw is the MS880 with 3/8 X 9 tooth sprocket on a 42 inch bar, we have 1000s of hours on that setup." or, "Big saws and short bars (Very Dangerous)", and We consider anything under 32 inches a short bar & anything under 24 very short. The guy is a complete douchebag, and I would love to see him come on this site and post this crap and get trashed, so of course he never will. Keep in mind that its fiction at best...
