Called traxxas support with an issue about my ESC.
The guy helping me was named Corey, he told me to
hold down my ez set button so i asked if that was the set button on the transmitter, he raised his voice and
said,NO NOT THE SET BUTTON THE EZ SET BUTTON ON THE ESC. Very unprofessional and very impatient, while trying to do his instructions for reset he got sick of waiting for me and hung up. Thank you traxxas for lying about your so called great customer service... Will not be purchasing from them again.

I bought a new traxxas e revo on 4-3-2021 When I ran the revo I noticed the right front tire was out of round. Called the hobby shop they told me the foam in the tire must have shifted and push on the tire to move the foam and run it and that should solve my problem. It didn't work. Called traxxas they told me they don't warranty tires. Must be nice to not have to warranty a part of the revo and make it the customer's problem.

I purchased a brand new Traxxas Maxx…
I purchased a brand new Traxxas Maxx model #TRA89076-4-GRN from a local hoppy shop called Robin's Racing located at 2290 Moody Road, Warner Robins, GA. 31088. The total amount of my purchase was $1036.55. This consisted of 3 batteries, a charger, adapter plugs, and the Traxxas Maxx in question. Purchase date was 12/26/20 at 5:17 PM. I did not unbox the truck until 12/28/20 as I had to charge batteries and install the required AA's in the receiver. As soon as I took the Maxx out of the box I noticed excessive amounts of tire glue on and around the rims (one wheel completely ruined by the glue). After spending more than 10 minutes checking it over and being disgruntled about the wheels I put it on the ground and tried to enjoy my BRAND NEW OUT OF THE BOX TRAXXAS MAXX. Shortly after driving it on a flat surface, I came to the realization that something was wrong. I picked the truck up and, to my disappointment, realized that the right, rear u-joint had fallen out and there was an excessive amount of differential fluid on the axle cup. This whole driving process took exactly TWO MINUTES TWENTY-SIX SECONDS which are video documented. The hobby shop was closed that evening so I packed it back into its original packaging and put it in the trunk of my vehicle. The next day I arrived at the hobby shop and considering I was overwhelmingly disappointed and annoyed at the quality control of Traxxas, I asked to either exchange my product for the same model I purchased because my Maxx seemed to have a cluster of DEFECTS from the FACTORY, or receive my money back. I was advised neither of those two solutions were going to be fulfilled and that I am just stuck with a defective product and out of over $1000.00 which caused me great disdain. The owner of the hobby shop had another Maxx in stock and would not exchange it "due to the nature of the hobby". The owner also declined to view my video evidence of the occurrence, BUT also agreed that it was, in fact, A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. Rather than accommodating me, the owner proceeded to ask if I would like to contact Traxxas about the issue because the store would not exchange or return my defective product. The Traxxas Representative I spoke with on the phone told me that under no circumstance would I receive an exchanged Maxx, even though he also agreed to it being a factory DEFECT. I sent pictures of the right, rear of the Maxx to his E-mail address. I expressed my desire for wanting to exchange my product with another of the same because I was concerned that whoever built this truck lacked in experience and efficiency, and that there would be other DEFECTS and inconsistencies in quality throughout this product. I intended to give TRAXXAS a second chance because I know that no-one is perfect, and exchanging the product would have accomplished this without leaving me dissatisfied. After explaining my thoughts, I was met with hostility and was told I would be given the parts TO FIX MY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT ONLY! Kent also advised me that I would be receiving multiple spares in case ANOTHER U-JOINT was not INSTALLED CORRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY. The hobby shop owner spoke with Kent on the phone, was instructed to pull the parts off of the shelf, and the owner fixed the Maxx for the time being. The owner also tried to keep the spare parts that were included in the repair kit, despite me being assured by Kent, that I could KEEP THEM! I also called customer support to see about the wheels getting replaced due to all of the cosmetic issues caused by the glue. I NEVER received a support E-MAIL to forward my pictures. At this point in time I would STILL BE WILLING TO give you guys a SECOND chance at doing the right thing by exchanging the truck. This would eliminate the doubt that I have about your product and prevent future findings of defects on this specific Maxx. Also, take note that Robin's Racing in Warner Robins, GA. is TARNISHING YOUR REPUTATION AS A RESPECTABLE COMPANY!
I am seeking a Brand new, no issues, quality controlled Maxx as a replacement to show me that Traxxas cares about their customers and to relieve me of the excessive amount of time and concerns I have had throughout this whole ordeal. Doing this would keep me a Traxxas customer and would prove to me that they take pride in their products and are worthy of my future business with the company.

Absolutely horrible customer service
Absolutely horrible customer service. I would not recommend this company for any type of RC products. I had two very expensive Lipo batteries die out six months into use put them in the storage every time, never let them drop below 3.7 V...they will not warranty unless I ship out this heavy broken potentially dangerous batteries back to them for “evaluation”. Very expensive to ship lipo battery’s where I live. Traxxas will not help me otherwise basically hung up the phone on me.

Awful customer service
My son and I both have a car and invested hundreds in the cars and recently ordered some parts and specifically wheels. The hex for the wheels were different size than the tires so it won't work. They refuse to take it back because I opened the plastic, which I would not of known the hex they sent me was the wrong size if I did not open it. The now refuse to take the wrong size wheels back. I did not use them at all and just go them yesterday. Awful customer service and the people are very rude also.
I would invest somewhere else in the future.
