who subscribes to RC magazines?

[jacobsjo87]

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.

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

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.

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