Tug Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That's a functional air intake? Awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingy_p Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 That's a functional air intake? Awesome! Yes mate, it's the RB Innovations Hyper-Charger filter but the paper filter that comes with it is crap so made my own 2 stage foam filter and works so much better and less restrictive and looks awesome poking out the bonnet [emoji6] [emoji106] from swingy-p's Z3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Looks like toy have enough room to run a modified DDM DOM pipe off a Baja on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Make sure its got a remote kill switch, if it hasn't already. These things are big, noisy, heavy and really quite fast - last thing you want is a runaway. Looks great. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Looking very nice. Some nice touches on there, but I reckon it will look better dirty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Al, that was the 1st thing that got wired in and this one is one of 7 5th scales we own so know how important a kill switch is and is definitely something that all 5th scales should come fitted with as standard in my eyes from swingy-p's Z3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That is a beauty, some excellent little touches and the monster touch with the intake. Also like the rear light exhaust. Good to see you here I have your shock cables ready to fit they are really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Like the application of the air intake - looks good - but how practical do you think it is? Once things get grim and dusty / dirty do you think it'll filter as well as a good, normal off-road foam filter, or is there a risk of particulates getting into the motor?

Should (in theory) be fine as it's got a custom made 2 stage filter inside and the paper filter that came with it got binned lol from swingy-p's Z3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
