Controversy can bring focus on any company, sometimes it has positive results. It can bring hype to a brand. If it mattered to them, HH would do something about it. I don't think Arrma products have any problems selling. Backorders are plentiful for the Kits as well as a good amount of key and often replaced parts. That's No good IMO.
Before Arrma brings out a new model, they should focus on improving the existing ones with issues that are out there and bring parts for support of the models that have been purchased. Now if Arrma products didn't sell, there wouldn't be B/O's. Stuff would be on the shelves collecting dust. I think that RC growth is slow growing in general these days, expendable $$$ for entertainment and hobbies has fallen off currently for so many people. And lets face it, Traxxas is a direct competitor, at least from HH's viewpoint. HH wants a piece of their market. Traxxas could probably care less about Arrma IMHO. Negative controversy is often spun by the competitor. A social media tactic.
