build off challange

[nmurph]

I hear ya man. You'll really like it Jason. I like mine a lot. They are nice fo sure.:msp_wink: Heck, they only weigh a pound more than a 372xpw. (dry pho)

The difference is nearly 2.5lbs, apples to apples.

I weighed both of them brand new. Dry pho. Scales are dead on with the post office scales. The 390 is flush handle.View attachment 214931View attachment 214932

Young has the same saws, and he got the same results. Dry PHO of course.

If you're trying to make a comparison, you'd have to compare it to a standard 372XP.

That would be what? Minus big dawgs and wrap handle? Dosent matter to me. Thats what both Young and I got. I dont think the 372xp weighs that much less.

 

[blsnelling]

Not a wrap model.

 

[MacLaren]

not a wrap model.

ok. But thats the difference between a 390xp and a 372xpw. I dont know the difference between a 390xp and a standard 372xp. No biggie.

BTW, hows your 390xp comin along? Has Nik got thru with her yet? Im excited to see how she turns out. I bet she will be a monster.

372 > 390

sorry been out of the loop here a couple days with the holidays and "honey dos" .
No problem building a 390xp for a build off, but I dont own one and I have no use for one so i'm not going to buy one. I have a 2188 now working on it but this guy uses this saw to make a living and he dosnt want to push it to competition standards, But if someone has a 390 they want done to this level I'm IN..
I'm always interested in chain races , Ive competed against some of the very best filer's know did well some times other times not so well. Old saying, "no matter how good we think we are there is always some one better".
scott if you wanta build fast stuff all ya gotta do is build one and send it to a real race you'll find out real quick how ya stand...

lol honey dos or doing honey?

by competition stanards, do you mean high end woods port or racesaw?

real race, any form of racing is a real race. lol

so are you going to attend or ship a saw?

i would like to know who all is planning to attend so i can be better prepaired.

Depending on when it is I might try to get a saw to build and enter. If its before the 066/660 build I don't know if i'll have time or the extra $$$ to get one.

 

[MacLaren]

I would love more than anything to make a raod trip up to Scotts. But i need a lot of notice. I was lookin at the calendar and considering the other build offs, would June16th be alright with everyone. I think this would give all ample time to recoup from the 066/660 build in late March.
It would be a Saturday naturally.
Im sorry guys. Im assuming the 066/660 build will be in late March / early April. Thats what Ive heard. I dont think a date has been set as of yet.

No saw to ship and I'm not sure if my 6'-0", 215lb arse can go UPS overnight.

Frank ... Ship yourself via FedX and make it easy to open the box. When you get to Memphis, open the box and get your butt over to Rendezvous and eat some ribs. joat

PS: make sure you have an exhaust vent

I want to see an ebay $200 dollars build off...can pick any pile of used stuff for $200 and build it into the fastest saw possible. No limitations other than $200 of ebayed materials.

I was going to say they would lose ya, and you would end up on Lamberts front porch wondering where on earth you were!

No one's asking me, but I think this should be a race build.



Only real rule should be stock muffler. Carbs can be modded, no air filters, no choke, can run on nitro/gas mix, and no limits on chain.




What's bein' cut....?? 12x12...? 10x10....?? Pine...? Poplar...??

COOL!!!
But it would also be cool if there was a couple logs around for the turtles to play in.

Win, Win Hot Saws bring spectaters, non-hot saw builder's can still come and have FUN !!!!
