I had a K&N in my real car and they are designed to allow better breathing and more air through but you have to keep them clean and well oiled. This equates to more finer particles going in if not maintained properly and for nitro engines running in dirt can quickly spell disaster. I would stick with the foam and keep it well oiled.

Yes I run a K&N on my street motorcycle but no way on my nitro trucks. If you do a search you will see more say about the same.
