543XP's on the way
« on: March 28, 2014, 04:03:02 pm »
1st batch of 543's are shipping today and will be here Mon or Tues. Going to have some fun with them. Want to compare one with my 242's and see how they stack up.

I can't do vids, but Weimedog can get some footage the next time we have one of our mini-GTG's. Probably next week. We can run it against some other 40cc class saws. 242XP obviously, 238SE, 450 Jonny. Whatever else we turn up. We had sort of planned to do a 40cc comparison when the 543 arrived, might as well film it. :)

 :o REALLY would like to know how the 543 stacks up against the 242 (one of my favorite saws)!

Mine as well, even though the 543xp may be a tad lighter....

That would be great to see.

Well the first round is awful close, but I didn't run it against my best 242. If I had the one with the muff mod and gasket delete, it wouldn't have been close. But that little 543 ran pretty good today.
