who subscribes to RC magazines?
 

which ones do you subscribe to. the only one i know of is rc car action.
is there one thats better and mainly electric?

Yes RC Action and RC Driver...

I'd have to say I prefer RC Driver - It has more electric - I might be a touch biased though ;)

How is the quality of the electrics reviews/articles in those mags? I have never subscribed, but it seems that the ones I do hear about don't do the conversion right, use crappy components, and/or just generally don't have a full understanding of what they are writing about.

I guess you didn't like my article then :(

Xtreme RC is quite good

http://rc411.com/

anyone out there subscribe to xtreme rc and rc driver? i only want to subscribe to one.
if you guys are wondering, i only a 3905 emaxx, rc18mt, and a vxl rustler.
so which mag would suit me better you think?

great informative article you wrote up!

Nope, it was full of exaggerations, omissions, and outright lies! :lol: OK, I guess I should have added the word "most" in there.

FYI there is a 2 for 1 at the moment at rc-driver so pair up with some else and you can get "great" conversion articles from someone who gets it right "most" of the time.

Xtreme rc

I just subscribed to rc car action this morning, actually. I've picked up a few copies from the LHS, and found it worthwhile. I may pick up a subscription to one of the others at some point, too. You can never have too much reading material. :lol:

- Tony

what you mean 2 for 1?
two subscriptions for one price of $19.99??
if so, anyone wanna go in hahah

If you have access to the internet which you obviously do then I feel magazines are pointless. I think there are more knowledgeable people about rc's here on this site than there are at these magazines. So if you take into account all the sites on the internet, there is nothing a magazine will tell you that can't be found on the net. And the net is more current than a mag.

Xtreme R/C and RCDriver

Go takedown - RCDriver woop woop

that is the absolute reason why i havent subscribed to any.
my gf even bought me two rc books that talk about lots of stuff, but nothing i cant find or talk bout on the forums, so i had her return it.
but i dunno, just get bored often, and lots of times, im here sitting on the internet looking for something to browse. ill look at rc videos and pictures just cus im bored. so i figure ill try something different..maybe a rc magazine will do the trick hahah

No Xtreme RC arct1k? They have the hotties.:lol:

I like the magazines for bathroom reading material! That's where I do my best thinking anyways

Any chance that you will switch away from the bold face type to what the rest of us are using? Maybe in the next post or so?

You guys reading the mags online must have a laptop to tote to the shitter with ya, huh?

Somewhat biased as I had three reviews published in RCDriver this month ;)

That guy that wrote those articles is a pretty nice guy. It's nice to see him recognized for sharing his knowledge:party:

Mike had an article published in RCD to this month...

I like RC Driver & R.C.C.A..Last month I bought the April issue of Xtreme rc cars & I won`t be buying it again.Heres some quotes from a article titled The most over & under rated.

This was in the over rated column
Another quote from xtreme rc
both of these are in the overrated section & they have a gem of interview Ernie the owner of team trinity(he still claiming brushed is better).It`s more then clear that Xtreme Rc cars is nitro bias

I to get rd driver but had subscriptions to rc car action in the past and i get the occasional xtreme rc i live in new england and most of te testing in rc driver is done at wolcott hobby in connecicut! now i guess i'm being biased as well??

rc car action subscriber since 1986

extreme rc since 2000

holy crap thats a long time!!
how come your not a subscriber for RC driver?

i still havent decided whether i want extreme rc or rc driver.

I figure two subscriptions is already enough,I just read rc driver while I'm in the store. I prefer my mags to be strictly cars and trucks unlike RCD which has boats and planes I have no interest in.Unfortunately RCCA has decided to add boats to their mag also.

I had both RC Driver and RCCA. Didn't renew the RCCA. I honestly find the mags pretty pointless. Good bathroom material though. I get frustrated because all the mags review products like they are an advertisement. Seriously, when was the last time you read a review of something in a mag and the article actually says the product is garbage?

I have been less than impressed with the electric coverage too. Pretty obvious none of the writers know anything about brushless conversions for racing.

Hottest chicks grace the pages of Extreme RC bar none!!

RC + Hot Chicks = FTW!
