    The Zenoah RC format motors ship with an air cleaner. It is recommended that you always use an air cleaner whether it’s the stock one or an optional one such as those offered by Miniature Aircraft. Running an unfiltered intake will shorten the life of the motor especially in the case of a crash where a large amount of foreign matter can be ingested into the motor.
