Is it really enough to get rid of an air box set up like that? I'm not sure you'd get that Round version under the body shell without cutting out some of the body, But it's totally your call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I have the filter, I quoted earlier on my DB, will see if it will fit under the shell this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would remove my lipos after every run and not charge in situ. Edited December 5, 2017 by QRC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QRC Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Just had a quick five minutes to have a look at the engine removal, not as bad as I thought. Good to see and hear the engine mount bolts have been loctite, needed a little bit of persuasion. On the air filter front, anything one apart from the FG version, the shell will need to be modified.
