@Chris-PA   have you figured out why the copies weigh so much more then the redmax 3800 originals?

Sounds and looks good in the cut. Wonder if you could make the chain hungrier. 

I don't think do weigh much if any more than the originals.  My G621 clone weighs under 12.5lb, or withing 0.1lb of the original if what I've seen is true.  I never weighed the Earthquake, but it's lighter than my GZ4000's by a little, which is about right.  The difference between how much mag is in the alloy might make a small difference, but the alloy part of the G3800 chassis is so small it would barely be noticeable. 

The chain was Tri-Link lo pro semi chisel.  I had touched a rock with it cutting brush earlier, so it had just been filed and the depth gauges set.  That was a 16" bar on a 38cc saw cutting a pretty hard piece of ash - I feel like that was all it's got and a more aggressive chain would just bog it. 

Thats what I was wondering how it would do with a PS PS3 chain on it.  You got any to try?
