RC air filters stop dust and grit reaching a nitro engine, which is the fastest way to wear one out. This category covers foam filters and the filter oil that traps fine particles. A clean, oiled filter is cheap insurance for an expensive engine.Clean and re-oil the filter regularly, especially on dusty tracks. See more in nitro accessories.

Frequent Questions & Answers
Why does a nitro engine need an air filter?

The engine sucks in air, and any dust it draws in grinds down the internals. A filter traps that grit, which is the single best way to make an engine last.

How do I oil a foam air filter?

Work filter oil evenly through the foam, then squeeze out the excess. The tacky surface catches fine dust that dry foam would let through.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean and re-oil it often, especially on dusty tracks. A clogged or dry filter costs power and lets grit into the engine.

What happens if I run without an air filter?

Dust goes straight into the engine and wears it out quickly. Never run a nitro engine without a clean, oiled filter fitted properly.
