How often should I change the foam air filter ?....Ive run nearly a gallon on the original & its black.

Thanks

You should probably clean it and re-oil it after every run or two. Replacing it every gallon or two isn't strictly necessary, but it's probably a good idea.

if u dont feel like cleaning it replace it with the engine saver intake and filter system, its great clean it prbly every 5-7 runs, i use a blottle spray bottle filled with engine degreaser, think its around $10 at hobby store

Are you joking ? You've never cleaned it! Truck must run like a piece
of crap. Anyway back when I still used the stock filter I cleaned it any day
we used it after We were done for the day. Allways! Its so small it
gets dirty just looking at it. Get your self a motor saver filter
with the 60 degree elbo and it will stick through handle bar.
This filter has a pre-filter on it and you can clean that every day
and the main filter will stay clean for a long time unless of
course its real dusty where you run.

i got the motor saver and had a really bad experience with it... i like the stock one. i usually only clean mine when it looks dirty but also i dont run on dirt a whole lot and if u did a lot on running in loose dirt and such were it can get dirty easly id probly clean it much more often

Ever few tankfuls or more even more often for cleaning.

After a gallon, toss them if you can afford new ones. However, properly cleaned they last a long time. Don't clean them in such a way you distort or wear them in anyway. Follow up with air filter oil or 2-stroke oil (only if air filter oil is unavailable).

I find a lot of motor saver filter parts on Towerhobbies.... can someone post a link to one that is good for the Savage, thanks.

On my Nitro Evader ST i clean it each night and i take it all apart and clean it every week or two to keep it somewhat clean!
