Ripsaw 500i, First thoughts....

I unboxed new 500i. Well packaged for shipping. I like that the box does not indicate what is inside. No damage during shipping.
I started it late afternoon for first time. It was 12 degrees out. Brrr.

I noticed right away the compression is higher when pulling the start cord. It surprised me.

It started first pull and ran perfect.

That's as far as I got. If the weather warms up a little next week, I'll take it out and cut a few rounds.

500i

Excellent hotsaw, rips through trees faster than my other saws and starts way easier, no matter the ambient temp.
Will be buying more hotsaws as needed from these guys. Thanks!

Worth waiting every minute for!

So the long wait is finally over and my saw finally arrived! Of course after Hurricane Milton haha! First, I want to thank Jared for calling me a few hours before the storm directly hit my area and offering to hold on to the saw until I make the call for when to ship it. I was able to upgrade to overnight easily once I started seeing UPS trucks. This was to guarantee it made it to my town. The little things like that make the wait worth it even more. So thank you very much Jared and Ripsaw! The saw is incredible! I tried it on small stuff and even just on the first tank, it’s a maniac. The throttle response is magic, and the compression, if you start it between the legs, it can be a nutcracker! I did have a bunch of parts from West Coast Saw sitting in my garage for 6 months and now it’s THE SAW I’ve always wanted. Definitely one up’d my buddy for sure with his stock 500i. I am gonna consider putting another order in for a 201T real soon to one up him again! Thank you guys!!!
