No!! Don't go with either...Like Brian said, the K&N's require special maintance, and aren't that great in performance. I would go with the stock snorkle for the Revo and a 1/8th scale buggy filter modified to fit it. That way you don't have the stock restriction of the mesh. A prefilter might also be smart. The Motor Savers are a no-no as well because I have heard numberous horror stories of them coming open, letting the element come out and then sucking dirt into the engine. If the filter comes off, you might as well kiss the piston and sleeve goodbye. I had that happen once with the stock filter because they don't come with a zip tie around them from the factory...
