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.

Nope, it was full of exaggerations, omissions, and outright lies! 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.

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.

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
