Why is there no air filter on the FG LEOPARD??

[daivik]

As the title says??
Why is there no option for a air filter on an FG Leopard?? Just wondering

 

[cryptonblade]

look again daivik,
its just like with a marder,beetle,truck,enz...

Yep. It will definately have an air filter. It will be the big round thingy on the the carb. The big thingy on the other side of your carb is the engine

If its not there you have probably lost it whilst out on a run so will need to get a new 1 before you take it out again or your engine will hoover up half of the track :no:

Right, guys I definetely don't have a "conventional" air filter because there is no big round (cylindrical) thing on the back of the carb. HOWEVER I do have the engine on the front and on the back there is a little black box. Is that "some form of air filter" because there are no openings into the engine.

 

[cryptonblade]

like this one u mean ?

if u like to put another air filter on,u need to take the "black box" off.

ps;thats the air filter

 

[dwarfy]

Yes that is the standard filter fitted to that engine.

Never had a filter like that so im not sure,
but i think that "more air better performances",
seems like a box to me?

Ok, thanks everyone who replied. Apologies for my MAJOR noob-iness!

 

[cryptonblade]

I would personally change it out to the stock Fg filter and buy a redneck outer filter and be set.

With stock FG:

With Zen filter:

 

[daivik]

Yeah, that's something I will look into. Thanks.

You can use these filters as Trebor says but if your running in really dusty conditions they are engine wreckers!:devil:

I'm more amazed at how nice that engine looks! But anyway dusty conditions aren't a problem for me. Living in England those conditions are rare. You might get a little bit of dust in England in the midst of summer but not much.

I know this is off topic but I love in america how there are always loads of old quarries or building sites. Thats were most of the bashing of any nitro/petrol/electric cars take place. Its hard to find a bashing place in england.
