Not Sure What kind of Filters on the revo?
But these ones for the LST Work Great!

And if you get some Extra Foams

and have them Pre-Oiled you can just throw a clean one On as needed....
PS, Don't waste your time with the motorsavers junk, They Let Fine Dust get in the Engine....

really?
That type of filter is commonly used in full size cars and trucks. Only thing is you need to keep them cleaned and oiled. I am just surprised that it wouldn't work on an rc as long as it is decent quality.

I Have them On All My Full Size Cars too...
But With RCs it only Takes a Very Small amount of Dust to Get Threw the Filter and your Engine is Gone....
Because they Only have the Screen and the Cotton they Don't Filter as Good as Oiled Foam and a Dry Pre Filter....

I'm running the HPI filter for the Savage on my Revo. It fits well and allows the engine to breathe better and longer before the dirt and mud clog it up.
