Fuel filters?

[okihost]

I am looking for a decent fuel filter for my maxx, I found dubro.com in one of the RC mags and was thinking about picking one up, anyone have any feedback on them?

Also I notice they have a small and a large version of this filter does it matter which one I choose?

I can't say if one is really any better than the other. They all appear to look about the same, 3 parts, a 2 piece aluminum housing with a fine screen insert. The important thing is that you install one.

Thanks, so if I get the large or small one it will really have no impact on fuel getting to the engine correct?

Trying to get everything I really need before even cracking the box on this thing and I think this is about all I really need now as I have the failsafe and waiting on a tempgun.

I've used the dubro and the Dynamite filters, both work fine but I like the Dynamite ones much better. One thing I also do, when I open it up to check it or clean it I use some Racers Choice carb seal around the threads of the filter, insuring no air leaks. I also like the fact you can get replacement filter screens for the dynamite filters. But As StrechM mentioned, just make sure you use one.

It shouldn't have any impact on fuel getting to the engine as long as it is clean of debris.

What temp gun did you decide on?

After looking over some reviews of temp guns here I ended up going with an OFNA temp gun which was a couple bucks more but I figure if it is a little more durable it will be worth it.

Ended up paying about $35 shipped

It sounds like you are headed in the right direction. NC's comment on the Dynamite fuel filter is a good one. I have a couple of them and the filter inserts are replaceable.

I could not find the dynamite one yet so I double checked and as I thought the dubro one seems to have a replacement filter.

The replacement filter that you showing a in the second link is one that goes inside of a gas tank. The one you are looking for is made of a very fine screen material.

Here you go.
