Traxxas karma?

[R6cowboy]

My body soaked up so much trichloroethane from motor cleaner, solvent and gas from the auto shop, and breathed in enough dust from the cutting of carbon and g10 over the years that I don't think it will be the little bit of slipper dust from Traxxas that's gonna get me

This exactly. While I'm not sure why they decided to use asbestos, its not really a problem at this size/quantity. I can't say the same for the people exposed daily making the parts though.

They use asbestos because it is cheap and very effective. It’s used in all sorts of items, right down to clay pots, bee smokers, and has even been used in garden mulch. Some countries (Australia for example) have a zero tolerance to asbestos, others (USA for example) have a tolerance of a small %

Just a little FYI... According to the U.S. EPA, the Biden-Harris clown show, I mean administration, finalized a ban on the ongoing uses of asbestos in the U.S. Proof that even the dumbest of them has done some good things.
