Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Traxxas remote-controlled cars have parts with a dangerous mineral called asbestos. This can be in the skids of some electric models or brake pads of some nitro models.

What's happening? The asbestos may release tiny fibers into the air if you take these parts apart. Breathing these fibers can cause serious health problems over time.

Does this affect me? Anyone who owns or uses these models could be at risk if they handle the asbestos parts.

What should I do? Stop using the product right away. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before touching the parts. Contact the store where you bought it for help.
