Traxxas is recalling the X-Maxx Velineon VXL-6s ESC on trucks that where sold between November 19, 2015 and January 19, 2016.

"We have identified an issue with the VXL-6s Electronic Speed Control that could lead to fire. We have a fusible link available to solve this issue. The VXL-6s ESC is sold separately or with the Traxxas X-Maxx monster truck, 77076-4. We are working with the CPSC on a voluntary recall and should announce that in the coming days. In the meantime, if you'd like to get your fusible link, please enter your serial number in the field below to see if your model is affected. If it is affected, chose one of the options below. If the CPSC requires anything more than the fusible link, we will update this page and contact affected customers."

From my experience... fire is usually bad. That would totally suck, especially considering what that system costs and the truck it's in costs!
