i seen this on tower hobbies today. I'm assuming u just squeeze the 2 ends together to prime it. i was thinking it would work good on the t-maxx sence there is no primer. any one have one, or knows someone that has used one? just intrested in how it works.

Never seen one like that before. U get 2 in 1, for the price I'd try it and if it don't work, at least u didn't spend alot on it.
 
I tried one not to long ago and its OK if you think you need a primer. I didn't like the fact that there was another place for a possible air leak. To me, that out weighs the benefit of a primer.

Its constructed well and if you get it it will do the job.
 
so Eddy u think i should just stick with a fuel filter and sticking my finger over the exhaust and pullin?

Yeah the finger over the exhaust works like a charm! If it ain't broke don't fix it!
 
Thats completely up to you.
When I evaluate a product I look at both the benefits and drawbacks. For me, the priming method isn't as important as the possibility of getting an air leak.

Just because thats the way I see it, doesn't mean that your priorities arent different.

If priming is a major pain in your ass then this is a good product to try.
