I have one on my 18tm in a t-maxx. It works good but it does seem to neck down a bit at the filter housing. I think the 1/8 scale filters are the least restrictive and a better filter for the tm.

Yes it is good at stopping dirt as long as you use a quality foam filter oil. I have never seen any sign of dirt on the inside if the filter or the carb throat.

1/8th scale Air filters are awesome for a revo you could modify it by using the revo neck and gluing to together to the filter with some shoe-goo or Gorilla glue. I use a Ofna 1/8 scale filter and Gorilla glued it to the air filter neck

The filter will work fine, but you could do better for less than $30. I know it's form O.S., but that price is still ridiculous for a plastic filter.
