Air filter cleaning access,how often?

[midwestguy69]

Was just messing with my Km 29cc car and was pulling the air filter...WOW. Not real easy! Any tips? I bought a pre filter for it,by the looks of it,it's almost impossible to install! I don't have the pre filter yet,was just looking. How often do you clean them on these 5b's?

Trim this bit off the lip on the bottom half and it makes it a whole lot easier.......as far as the pre filter bags are concerned....it's all in the way you hold your tongue.

Washing is recommended after every run in dusty conditions....and whenever you feel like it when there aint no dust!!!

 

[midwestguy69]

Anyone recommend a velocity stack and aftermarket filter?

 

[Rossco]

Dual element oiled filters are the best....like the one you already have.

The K&N pod style dry filters are not recommended for off road use....they only filter out gravel & rocks.....anything smaller will be ingested.

Velocity stack?? I know you can get pretty aftermarket ones but the HPI types are a velocity stack anyway.....but plastic.

I guess i'll stick with what i got and just wrestle a pre filter on her

Me too on the FG so put an FG foam pre filter over it...works fine

I would defiantly go with the FG original filter with filter oil and a Redneck.

I didnt have a problem with mine when I oiled it.Straight off ,straight on.

The clamp part that locks them in place is too close to the fuel tank....no room to drop it so the lip releases.....that's why I trim the bottom lip off....it then just slides off without having to drop it down first.

The angled Shredstack is an awesome little jigger which will make it a pleasure to change.

i bought an angled phat dad from ddm and it is great! makes the on off much easier. i think($0.02) the stock oiled properly with an outer wear is the ticket.

i have the angled shredstack on mine it lifts the filter up at the end of it, and also gives you a lil more clearance at the connection point and clamp area on filter. i tried a different filter setup, was nice, , a shorty angled neck with a redneck overfilter. i went back to the stock setup with a outerwears cover.

also replaced the stock plastic isolator block with a alloy longer one, in conjunction with the angled velocity shredstack, made a lil more umphh in the motor, had to retune carb of course to match up with the increase of airflow coming in.

 

[zignzag]

I'm going to get the angled shred stack as well plus futaba 3pm-mx and so e better servos.

i use the PJ cleaner and PJ oil in spray cans for foam filters, works pretty well and is easier to coat the filters with oil too
