I was having trouble starting my tmaxx 2.5 so I bought it just in case. I removed the original, cleaned with WD40 and reinstalled and it's been running great ever since. In fact, after the bearing was cleaned, more fuel flowed through it than at the beginning of its action. Before you buy, I recommend taking what you have and cleaning it so you don't end up with a $15-20 part that you'll probably never need while sitting in a tool box like me.
