The first one will fit, but it is only single stage (one sponge eliment) whereas, the Motor Saver (and the HPI High performance filter) is a two stage, meaning, there is an outer sponge filter (which doesn't need oil(unless its really dusty)) and an inner sponge which is oiled.
Both of these two stage filters are unbelievable!!

Probably wrong if you were looking for engine performance then a high flow filter would be better but if running in sand, fine dust etc a "clean" air filter would be best but at the sacrafice of power? Over here in the UK see alot of people with K&N airfilters fitted to everything from 1/10 buggys to 1/5th scale saloons - these are exactly the same as those found on full size smaller and seem to offer a good comprimse between the 2.

I'm in the UK, I have a K&N filter and yes it is good, but no better IMO than either of the two stage filters I mentioned (definately if we are talking air cleanliness). I run my savage pretty hard and these two stagers are a superb all round filter for any running conditions, and the performance is a hell of a lot better than that poxy stock thing.

Status: offline 		i think the motor saver air filter is one of the best. it has a 3-stage filter and has cleaner air than the K&N
