What is the best airfilter today for 1/8 buggies? I have seen the new double intake filter but also smaller filters like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/51705B-Short...ht_2616wt_1163

Other than the Original Xray one i tend to pick up the Proline air filter small compact and not badly priced, I would say these days its personnel preference oiled correctly it will protect your engine....

Look at the Lucky 7 RC filters. They are preoiled or not if you choose and very high quality!!!!

Stock losi 8ight t filter, oiled inner element, dry outer, readily available. I do a lot of bashing and they work great.

either one works great!

The Lucky 7 are nice because they are simply drop in. No worrying about oil which is nice.

I recently switched to Power Save filters. They are made of a really amazing foam that protects a lot better than anything else on the market I've tried.

The most important things are:

Foam density: we have tested many filters and the foam density if too large will allow dirt to get through the "cavities" in the foam no matter how good your oil is.

And the next thing is use a good tacky air filter oil. In my opinion the oil must be tacky. The regular "oil" type that is not tacky doesnt catch as much dirt passing thru the filter.

Im sure there are other good tight density filters out there but we use Origional Losi 8ight filters. And have had great luck.

That filter in the link above, if you look at the foam looks like the density is NOT very high. LArge ,coarse cavities.

Some times the filters look cool but dont actually work very well.

We have seen this many times on engines that have come in an have worn out prematurely due to ingesting dirt. The owners always kept the filter oiled and clean and could understand how dirt got in.... Thats why, filter and/or poor oil performance. Thats why we came out with filter oil and made it very tacky.

Kyosho green oil , 'nuff said

Kyosho Green oil is pretty outstanding.

But for me Lucky 7 pre-oiled.. Dab the excess oil out before installing let stand for about 30 minutes, and your as safe as you can be..

i like Lucky 7 too because you dont have to worry bout the oil

I have the Ultimate Racing Pre-oiled inners and outers...In that scarlet red they just look plain EVIL on your car

Either losi or lucky 7 filters for me. I have been running the losi system for a long time now no matter what brand RC car I rolled and it has proven to work very well.

Lucky 7 !!

Losi and lucky for me too both are equal in my eye no issues

Lucky 7 pre-oiled filters rock! KalGard foam filter oil also rocks!

When I'm lazy I go Lucky. When I'm feeling nostalgic I wash,dry and lube my Kyosho filters with KalGard.
