Air-filter are one of the most important things when driving a 1:8 scale off-road buggy.
There are different manufacturers producing their own filters.

The filters are white colored and always come with a sufficient bottle of red colored air filter oil.
As the filter are white from origin you can easily see from the outside the contamination of the dirt which is building up at the outer core of the filter.
With the red air filter oil this makes also oiled filters easy to inspect and check.
But what is the use of a good air filter if you do not use it the right way.

Verdict

The white filters are dense and when the supplied oil is used they are doing their job perfectly.
Only downside is there is no user manual with this product or any information where to find it.
