Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of lawyers.

Not sure how I feel about Traxxas. Good people will lose their jobs. The kits are generally good, but their business practices are total trash. Those that make the decisions need a boot in the arse.

Traxxas love to sue people/company's does that mean we can sue them now 😂

[jackengel]

This has been going on in Australia for nearly two years. Traxxas had been banned importing their cars here. They tried to circumvent Australian Customs, got caught, and banned. They said they don’t know that the Chinese manufacturer was using asbestos in the pads. The way Traxxas behaves, this is karma.

Has anybody told you that you look like Ralphie from a Christmas story. Great video yet again and thank you for the important information. Happy new year

I worked in a hobby shop for 5 years and in rc for 15 years hope I’m okay I’ve rebuilt so many of those clutch pads for work and for personal

Kevin Talbot: "BOOM!!!"
His shelves: empty

What happens after the form is filled in? Do you get a shipping label and have to send it off somewhere? does it get reimbursed for what you paid for it at the time of purchase or what they are worth today or will you get a new one sent out, or just loose your car and money? Update video on how a recall like this worked out would be nice to see

I live in America and have every model in the list. And still have all of them. I have been playing this these modules since 2000 . When I turned 18 and got a job to afford them. We will see how this plays out in the USA.

[RecklessRcuk]

Arrma had the same issue not too long ago, most people aren’t interested in getting the parts replaced from what I’ve seen throughout Facebook

[BASSstarlet]

Stop buying cars from this greedy company that closes stores and sues anyone they don't like!

[MR.TOYBOX]

Perfect timing. All of my slippers were worn out and needing to be replaced anyways.

[DasECuz]

I know asbestos is very bad, but our exposure to it in the ways of concern in this recall honestly seem pretty minimal when compared to lubricants, paint and adhesive fumes, or especially metal, carbon fiber, and even plastic dust. I'm sure a lot of us wrench on our own full size vehicles too and there's a whole other level to the kinds of stuff that has been through our bodies with that hobby as well.

Australian customs found asbestos in shipping containers over a year ago . A machine is used to “ sniff “ for asbestos. Those containers were returned and only limited traxxas product was available in Australia since then .

I wonder if this issue was first discovered over a year ago?

Happy new year . Stay safe.

The sledding clip just melted my heart

[builttobeat]

Glad I've always hated traxxas, so I've never bought one, because they're the typical big corporations that doesn't give a shit about their consumers.

[MLife]

Good man. Well explained and well researched. Not the most exciting topic but my cousin died of asbestos related illnesses so your viewers should take it seriously and follow the recall information.

[ackers]

My only takeaway concern from this is the potential number of other models from other companies that could contain the same issue or any other hidden risks yet discovered, especially if coming from China as the manufacturer region, which already applies to most. I'm from the uk and have owned long- term a 1/16 e revo vxl that i'm saddened to see included on the list; but i've also recently purchased an hpi savage xs that also uses slipper pads, of which I can't help but suspiciously now glance at following this news...

[WY-DaveZ]

It IS banned here in the USA. Been banned from sometime in the '80s.
