Those look cool but don't offer much protection. It is basically the aluminum version of the stock filter.rev9fan1 said:

That's the shipping carton Redcat Racing provides. The unites displayed on store shelves are packaged in the pretty display boxes. Nothing to worry about there.rev9fan1 said:yup its a redcat rampage xsc i mean the box it was in didnt have redcat on it, it can in a card board looking box and when i opened it, it had the truck in there and it was zip tied down to a big cardboard platform.
Keep it oiled and throw a prefilter on it and you might be ok. These guys are just suggesting products to prevent damage to your engine once you get her going again. If you have to save up for some good parts, that's understandable. 5th scale can be expensive.rev9fan1 said:well my issue is i have it already, so with this motor rebuild i might have to do i don't think ill be able to afford another air filter...am i safe with this one for now? everytime i go into dirt i plan on cleaning it and putting new oil in it.
A sock is too course. Some guys use a piece of panty hoe or nylon stocking. I know very sexy!rev9fan1 said:oh yea prefilter i remember i was gonna ask can i use a sock?
Here ya go. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.8216/.frev9fan1 said:oh also my grommet on my gas tank got torn do you know of any good replacements?
Yes that one is great also makes it where you will nothave to vent your gas cap I have that on all my cats. IMO its a must.RCDAD said:
How can you see that? They look like shadows to me. Lol. He said the damage is below the intake. If it got hot (I'm not saying it didn't) wouldn't the damage be more at the top of the piston in the ring area? Wouldn't the damage be at the top of the cylinder, as well?alfred e numan said:that engine became hot. look at the backed on color on the piston skirt. the piston expanded-- ripped up the bore. just wondering-- what oil do you use and at what ratio?
Yeah, that's no good. Go with the proven HPI filter and a pre-filter. Good stuff.rev9fan1 said:
It's an HY. Which is basically a CY clone.rev9fan1 said:thats what im saying lol i don't know what motor came in this thing, with all these clones that are out and everything. I mean my engine LOOKS like the one on nitro rcx but thats just the outside, they all look the same to me. All i know is my girlfriend bought this for me on ebay and it was brand new in the box, but it wasnt from redcat. So i don't know what motor is in it, if i had to guess its whatever redcat puts stock in their cars.
