After installing the Rim drive on my Echo cs590 today I ordered the Rim Drive for my cs 352 a few minutes ago. About 25 bucks total. I'm excited to see how it works out. Total for both saws about 55 bucks. A LOT less than Echo parts. Now IF they hold up well I will have won. Of course it's a bet. Almost every part of life is a bed. When I drop a tree I'm betting. Dropped badly, ouch, life or money can be lost. Perfect lay. Joy and pride. I know im not the ONLY one of me.
Up date. I love the rim drive 7 pin on my cs352. I just saw an add for less than 15 bucks for the whole thing.
What chain are you using 1/4 or .325 or 3/8lp on a sprocket for the larger 3/8?
The 3/8 chain by oregon you can buy cheap with a bar that you see at Walmart. I believe its 52 links.
Found this today for sale on line sold by "The big river in south America "Store". With the 352 going away someone phoned me yesterday trying to buy my cs352. I could sell it but I'm not sure I'd like the cs 3510 and the one I looked at has a Spur gear. I think my 352 is great and it's set up and tuned just the way I like it.. THE only thing they could have done better is a metal chain catcher. I broke my side plate the FIRST time the chain dropped. Super Glue, hot weld nad fixed it better than new.. Bought TWO side plates for just under 15 bucks while I could get them. I'm still unimpressed with my dealers response. The saw was less than or near a month old at the time.. But,, I sent my friend to them to see IF he could get a cs352. I don't hate but I don't forget. Smart animals remember where the traps are dumb fish get caught over and over again. BUT.. IF he's the only guy who has what I, or one of my friends need. I'll buy or recommend him and hold my nose until I get out of his sight. I was told a man can kiss a snake on top of the head as long as he knows how to properly to hold it's head. If I get what I want and need, I just might kiss that snake rather than do without.

Has anyone tried a 352 rim drive on a 3510?
Good price. I'm in Louisiana.
Thanks. It cuts great
I remember you had another thread where you debated the 352 vs the 3510. I can't remember if you handled or ran the 3510. These new gen designs have several updated features, like full spring anti-vibe on both handles. My older small Echo's have rubber AV in the rear and nothing in the front. Does it make a big difference in a small saw? I'm not sure. Some of the other new features I am less impressed with but maybe they will grow on me: different choke switch (feels cheap), totally different kill switch (I am used to the old style), clear fuel tank (the jury is still out), spring clip retained top cover (I don't like it), strato engines (not sure what to think).
My personal opinion is that the new designs are not an upgrade.
Glad to hear you like the rim drive conversion. Was this the Archer brand or something else?

My friend talked me out of buying the 3510. I'm getting offers on my cs352 and turning them down. Lol. I love that little saw.
I currently have both saws, selling the 352, keeping the 3510
So I'm guessing the 3510 is your choice between the two saws. Ill never wear out my cs 352. Have a great day.
I would be interested in hearing what the differences are.
I think the 3510 is a little lighter, slightly more power , and seems to have really crisp throttle response. The one thing I don’t love is that I have not been able to figure out how to get a rim sprocket set I like the killlswitch
See I am curious if these are all strato motors. I noticed on my 4010 that they have real slot-head carb adjustment screws and not proprietary screw heads blocked with plastic plugs.
