[TRI955]

[stihlboy]

[Modifiedmark]

Im liking this thread ,it should include all cheap "fisher-price" saw (wildthong ,new plastic Homelites {rippin ronny}.Craftsman, new"hot wheels" Mccullogh plastic)

We all should use the same chain Carlton N1C or equivalent and be limited to a 14 bar for 35cc or less and 16 bar for 36cc up.

after all the timed cuts,noodles are done a "king of the hill" before it grenades!

Hell no, I think we should stick with what was originally posted, that being made in the US of A green and purple!

Besides them Asian POS wont hold a candle to them and that what has had me scratching my head all along about the WT bashin.

LOL hopefully when I'm done with the Thang it'll out run a 290 as well.

Heck if you cant do that you might as well leave it at home. LOL

Hmm I have a little echo 302s that I'm tuning up for a buddy. Its a 33cc saw. The owner said it screams. I checked the compression and its at 175lbs. I will take several vids of it to post up here. Just need to know what were cutting up to make it even playing field.

I got a 302S also and while I like it alot it wont stand a chance against a decent running wild thing.

Is anyone interested in world wide video racing? Take a video of three cuts through three 2x4's stacked together. It would just be for fun of course. If everyone uses kiln dried softwood lumber it should be good enough for beer league fun! That would keep it in the spirit of low cost racing and everyone could participate

 

[J.W Younger]

Stock, outta the box, stock appearing modified, open class grenade grade saws.

sounds good, less rules means less bending or breaking them that will allways happen, its human nature.

claimer system?
Naw , BAD IDEA my poops are special LOL.

Was thinking of it Jeff prior to you posting this.

Not sure if you can get those beasts Downunder?

now you got me searching my basement for the 141 huskey; better now that never hate to admit that this was my next project. again I am kicking myself for selling my free to me wildthing \. i dont think that I am going to sell another saw again.

 

[Arrowhead]

One more rule.... at least 10 square inches of the saw MUST be purple..... spray paint is acceptable.

I am liking this more and more. I think we should have a small wager for each class...say a case of beer to the winner. If it's the right kind of beer, mine will be in the stock class straight out of the box.

Too complicated.

How about this?

-Must be under $165 retail new and clamshell.
-Must be produced in the last 20 years (to keep some clown from showing up with a MAC 5-10, etc....)
-Two classes:
- stock appearing (uses all stock body parts mounted to stock mount points with no extra holes or fasteners)
- Modified (anything goes)

Am I really going to have to find one of these turds? I just got rid of a "good" one this week.

Wait, can I run a Mini-MAC?

The $165.00 retail is too low that eliminates a lot of saws. Even the Wildthings and Woodsharks are around $179.00-$199.00 MSRP.
No stock classes eliminates the very people we want to get into this, the non-modders who go to the GTGs for fun!!!

[Zombiechopper]

how about this:

1) must be 43cc or less.
2) must be clamshell.

Class A: Stock appearing
Class B: Anything Goes

timed cuts through a stack of three 2x4's recorded on video.

Simple. Everyone can play. Cheap.

agreed. We need to be able to include all the Husky and Stihl homeowner clamshells that retail at a bit over $200

 

[pops21]

I haven't started it yet. I just figured it might be able to pull its weight.

 

[madhatte]

How about "Must sport stock 'Wild Thing' plastic and colors"? I'm sort of looking for the bits and pieces for a "sleeper" having run Farley9n's WT which shocked eighteen kinds of hell outta me. I don't know that I could do better, but I'm sure it'd be fun to try! Thing LOOKED like right off the shelf at any pawnshop, but out-cut saws with MUCH better reputations. I picked up a few details about how-to, but I'm really gonna have to do it to know for sure.
