Is it okay to give this as a gift?

as long as you know the person is going to be needing it.. its meant for an ez-starter... So if you see them using a "Traxxas EZ Start" system then they may need one, someday.. as they don't last forever... It doesn't come in any fancy packaging.. so would be best along side some other R/C gifts/gadgets/addons

Will this fit a 2.5 motor t-maxx?

Yes, this is listed as compatible on the manufacturer's website. Thanks for asking.

Will this fit a Revo 3.3 EZ start

Yes, this starter motor will fit the Revo 3.3. That is what I use on my Revo 3.3

Will this fit a tmaxx 3.3

This is the correct motor to replace the motor on the EZ-Start 2 system that comes on a T-Maxx 3.3.
