Spyder competition paper filter

[Rep732]

Just curious if anyone ran a paper filter before on their rigs. I see rcmax gives you a paper filter with their engines so I can't see it being a terrible idea im just a little nervous with my uni foam filter and dust again

 

[MonsterAir]

What if the paper gets wet? I always liked the DT1 triple foams from DDM.

 

[Rep732]

The filter says its washable as well. And I don't drive my truck in any wet conditions

 

[MonsterAir]

Ok well if it says washable then I assume it won't tear if a little wet. I'd still go with a velocity stack and triple foam filter. Oil it up and you will never have an issue. Just my $0.02.

 

[Rep732]

Can't use velocity stacks with the turtle racing air box .. and im running an uni 3" filter with a redneck dual stage pre filter so I have triple filtration but dust still got in

 

[MonsterAir]

Ahhh I see... I'm a Losi noob. Sry to be useless in my suggestions.

 

[Rep732]

No worries. Its 25 bucks for the filter and it says it goes down to .1 microns which is pretty damn good. I just don't want to blow another engine

 

[MonsterAir]

Just curious, why not run a outterwears prefilter?

 

[Rep732]

O yea have that too lol

 

[Z.hb71]

I haven't heard much about them tbh. But why fix what isn't broke? Wouldn't want to risk another motor imo

 

[MonsterAir]

Jeez!... I was thinking of doing away with the top engine shroud because it gets dirt under there and when I need to pull the plug while out it is a hazard. I'm wondering if the dirt came thru the filter or entered another way.

 

[DougStar]

The shroud is for cooling?? don't get rid of it??

 

[MonsterAir]

Never heard of one of these things overheating.

+1 not a good idea.

 

[MonsterAir]

I will have to experiment now. I'll post a thread when I do. Just highly doubt it would be an issue unless maybe in 100deg weather. These trucks have open windows, plenty of cooling.

 

[Z.hb71]

I highly doubt it WOULDN'T be an issue in anything more then 35 deg personally ?‍

 

[MonsterAir]

We shall see when the spring rolls around.

Back to regularly scheduled programing...... "filter suggestions"

 

[Rep732]

@Z.hb71 don't fix whats not broken? You've seen first hand what my air filter setup let by. So yea I need to re think this
