Outerwears Pre-filters are designed to enhance the efficiency of any
performance or exposed air filter. The Pre-filter is constructed with a
proprietary polyester mesh with uniform micron openings, treated with
an optional hydrophobic water-repellent process. The mesh is UV
resistant, filters debris down to .005”, is shatter proof in freezing
temperatures, and resistant to heat up to 450 degrees. The material is
puncture resistant and has elasticity characteristics allowing the
threads to return to the original position in the event the threads
have been impacted or shifted. The manufacturing process incorporates a
welded seam for strength, eliminating needle holes and potential
failure points in the material. The top seam utilizes specialized
thread and cording to reinforce durability of the top. Four stock
colors are available in either regular or the water-repellent variety.
Pre-filters are designed to deflect the damaging debris, which clogs
air filters, compromising peak air-flow and horsepower. The Pre-filter
also extends the time between servicing intervals reducing costs and
increasing convenience for the consumer.

Outerwears Performance Pre-Filter Air Filter Cover (Losi 8ight/8ight-T) (Black)
I have bought 3 of these now. At first they work great and l like the draw string on them to close instead of using zip ties like on other models. After a few races though each of these has holes in it. I will start using panty hose in the future instead of replacing these at $16 each.

OK, I agree the Outerwears Pre-Filters are pricey, but I really think they're worth it.
I've been running a pre-filter on my RC8 for about three gallons, and I think I can say that:
- it extends the time between filter service/cleaning in dry conditions;
- it protects the filter foam to get soaked if you hit a puddle in a wet track (believe me: here in Rio de Janeiro it's rainning a LOT lately);
- it is easy to clean: just wash it down with dishwashing liquid, let it dry, and use again!
The downside is the price, really. If they had a 5 bucks price tag, I'd grab at least 10 of these things!

Kinda pricey and doesn't work all that great! There are other ways to keep filters clean.... A great idea though...

Outerwears Performance Pre-Filter Air Filter Cover (Losi 8ight/8ight-T) (Black)
Kinda expensive but fits well and should really cut down on the amount of junk sticking to the oiled up filter.
