CMB .45 Outboard Carb Snorkel

[Brandon Atwell]

Anyone have a solution on hand to snorkel the outboard conversion?
Seen engines setup with a 90 degree hose off the carb, tried an RC air filter elbow but far too small I.D. Any other options out there?

thanks!

Mark Hopper would know. He had a nice snorkel on his CMB GP 45 conversion.

Buggy air filter 90 or 21 exhaust coupling that went around the header

How about cutting down a 180 header?

Brandon I used a marine overflow tube ,I found a plastic 5/8 and cut it to the length I needed ,plastic wire tie to clamp it to the carb
I also put a safety wire incase of blow over and knocking it off

Another idea and I think is the best ,a vacuum cap with a cut out

Traxxas Air Filter Housing/Foam Insert/Bases (TRX 2.5, 3.3), 5260


They run about 12.00. Just use the base.

It would be very easy with 3D printing today to produce a nice snorkel that is split in half and held on with zip ties or O-rings.

Thanks for all the replies guys, have a couple options to test out now.
I actually thought about hopping on TinkerCad, it’s a relatively simple design so that should do enough to make one. I’ve used it for a few school projects.
Ordered a couple of the filter couplers for the time being and hacked up a vacuum seal like Greg posted.
