samp97 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/28935-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/28934-/ As you can see the carb neck is rather close to the spur gear and as you can imagine the spur gear rubs horribly on the air filter pipe and before it goes through and spits powdered rubber into the carb opening i need to fix it, i heard there is a specific air filter for the revo but there are two that look identical.. wow this is so close to being finished there just keeps being problems *sigh* PS Links to filter :- if it helps the chassis is the 2.5 chassis http://www.modelsport.co.uk/traxxas-air-filter-body-high-volume-fltr-sup-cap-foam/rc-car-products/32307http://www.modelsport.co.uk/traxxas-air-filter-body-filter-support-cap-foam-filter/rc-car-products/32412 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthoop Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I can not give you a specific part that will work...although I can see your worry... There are many different carb. necks available....and you could always fashion something to hold the appropriate neck away from the gear?...

samp97 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I might just go for one of them and make it fit best because the filter pipe work is almost worn through thank you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Is it possible to fit a smaller spur gear ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think I rotated mine slightly, and also used the Tekno linkage. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 did you get this issue sorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I use a motor saver air filter, and if I remember correctly you can twist the 3.3 high flow filter to help with clearance. Also worth a try is to see if your chassis is bending. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
