All I can say is at least they are trying. Show me another website, or mag, that caters to bashers and general R/C news. And they are always on the lookout for new writers. Why not instead of "bashing" them, you volunteer to do some more 'hardcode' reporting/testing/writing for them.

I tried to correct them and inform them where they were going wrong with their testing, but they pretty much just brushed aside my concerns- I get the feeling they arent interested in carrying out 'serious' testing, they just like writing sensationalist articles and 'fluff' stories. Clearly they are a just some group of drivers who write a website, yet dont have much of a technical background to draw upon; anyone who thinks comparing dissimilar lipos in the same graph is a fair way to create an article is clearly not interested in honest facts and figures to help people make informed buying choices.

Take another look at all their articles- they even compare junky radios to top of the line radios with completely different features and specs, then draw the conclusion that the expensive radios are better; again, noobs leading noobs pretty much....

What did you expect them to really do? Your letter was scathing, sarcastic, and extremely negative in tone. Don't get me wrong, it is good to express your opinion, and if that's the way you feel then by all means tell that to them. But don't expect them to do much, I probably would have brushed it aside too, just based on the tone and negativity. Maybe try being a little more positive next time, or at least hold back a little bit on the sarcasm. Or if you do feel they are complete idiots who don't know anything, why bother with reading and responding to their articles anyway?

Exactly simplechamp.

Think of the noobs!, they would be lead astray by such poorly written and researched articles that are being passed off as fact & gospel... :lol: :yes:

Well as I said it's good for you to express your opinion and give them feedback, but I don't think you'll make any impact if you keep the negative and sarcastic tone. I think you raised some good points in your letter, but adding in the little jabs like "You have go to be kidding me?!" and "What kind of jokers are you?" doesn't help your cause.
