Again, just my opinion, but I wouldn't trust that in racing conditions or heavy dirt, dusty conditions. A lot fo racers use the Losi air filter system, including myself with RCPro foam elements and oil. I know a few have said that Proline makes a good system too, though I have no experience with it.
Look into getting an aluminum servo horn, at the least for steering.
Oh yeah I'm way ahead of you. It looks like the filter off an on-road setup or something. I was planning to get at least the Losi air filter. Definitely going to upgrade that.

There shoud be one screw in the middle of the front of the starter box that you unscrew to get inside of the box, well at lest both of my boxes do anyway
So check the carrier bearings and diff bearings? That's not too bad. I think I'm also going to pull out the engine to check the clutch and clutch bearing.
