Filter? - 12-27-2005, 08:45 PM

Well, like I said I got the TM yesterday and now I think I'll need some better filter. I have MotorSaver right now, but I read some stories where the foam collapses and lets in the dirt. When looking at it's design, it seems obvious...

Well, do you have any recommendations? Maybe some 1/8 like Mugen or Ofna? Here are two I found on Tower:

1) Mugen Air Filter Set .21 Buggy

2) Ofna 1/8 Foam Air Filter Kit w/Oil Blue

I'm not sure though if they would fit. Any recomendations would be great

I got that filter with the CV-RX and it seems to work well. It has something in the middle to keep the foam from collapsing. I don't know about the two you posted.

The OS 203 filter is good, but a little too $$$ unless you get it with a motor. Most 1/8 filters have supports in the center

The one I linked to? Fits nicely, right? And is it two-stage?

I found RB one and it looks awesome. I'm not sure if it will fit TM, though.

Hey, hows it going? I think I've seen some people on forums use the RB filter, but none of those will fit without modding. It's not hard to do, and most of it involves just cutting the filter neck...Then shoe-gooing it to the actual filter.

I use the Monster GT aka TTR 1/8 filter and a Mugen one. Both are great but the Monster GT one was cheaper and works just as good and the filters for both are close enough to amke them interchangeable.

Looks like the TTR one is dual stage, unlike Mugen, right? I think I'm going to order both TTR and Mugen one and see which one I like better.
