K N filter

In a word: DON'T!

It doesn't offer enough filtration and can cause premature engine failure. Stay with a good 2-stage foam filter and you'll be better off.
 
Ok just to let you know they are a super BAD IDEA for nitro engines. The problem is they let too much stuff through that can kill a nitro in a hurry. On a car engine the little stuff that gets through is not big deal. On these little suckers it is a death sentence. I would get a good 2 stage Motor Saver oil foam filter. Get an outer wears cover for it and you are even better off. But K&N for RC is bad juju.
 
^^Awesome filter, I have one of those on my revo, and man do they have a wide field of air flow
 
That traxxas filter is just as good as any other. Have one fall off during a run and you'll see what I mean. Running through half a tank without it made no difference in performance.
 
They just look pretty; they don't work worth a darn on nitro engines.

Sure.... THAT is what would make you stupid. Not that you put your pants on your head and wave your pecker at traffic.
 
Wrong. I wouldn't embarrass myself by putting a K&N filter or a super charger on a shelf queen. Maybe they look good, but it would make me look stupid.:wheee::headscratch::kookoo:

Forgive me. With all that shine blinding me I THOUGHT I saw a Silly Filter. My bad. Getting back on the bus now...

Why? Is that not normal?

Is ANYTHING about you "normal"?
 
Rolex won't even put one on his shelf queen. That means dirt can get through without any suction to pull it through.:rolex:
