This is really more of a why but why do some people insist that a motorsavers filter is the best thing going?Ive had one case of someone even saying 1/8th buggy filters are unreliable and junk compared to them.why? because there cheaper? more reliable? cheaper to replace/rebuild? or the fact that the cap doesn't pop off? sorry for my little rant but i cant stand seeing these filters, to me there only one step ahead of those k&n cranckcase vent filters everyone sells as airfilters.

i see alot of guys who get dirt in their motors and it dont seem to matter what filter they use....its all in how you set em up....i sue mugan replacement filters i soak them with pj-1 foam air filter oil(motorcycle stuff)this oil is real sticky...i ring out the excess oil and i pack the ends of the filter housing with a small amount of grease to help trap any dirt...i also use the ofna outer sleeve filters for a added protection....i never ever and i mean never wash a filter and re use it....i wont risk a 400 dollar motor to save a 2 dollar filter just isnt worht it to me...ill use a filter a few times and throw it away

good point......what about the cheap motor.

wash and dry the outer filter

Ok with PJ-1 air filter cleaner (i use their stuff to from riding motorcross) will make these filters new basically. Theres no reason to use a filter and throw it away when you can get it just as clean as when it came out of the package even with a lot of soap and water... you can still get all of the dirt out. Never use stock kyosho filter elements. They are extremly thick forcing the air (and dirt with it) to find its way around the sides of the filter and destroying your motor. Otherwise the stock filter with good element will serv its purpose. Get an oversized element and sandwich it in the mounts to make a tight seal around the sides of the filter and put oil around the sides of the filter aswell. Run a decent dust filter and oil the inside of that too. Check the filter after each tank of fuel and when its looking a bit dirty change the filter and dust filter. When you pull the dust filter over the main filter just make sure you don't pull the main filter out from under the lip in the mounts.
