Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2003RC Car magazines?
Are there any print magazines dedicated to RC cars only (not boats, planes, helicopters, etc.)? Four that I know of: RC Car Action (oldest and largest) RC Car (good magazine, but small) RC Driver (new magazine, similar to RCCA) Xtreme RC (scantily clad women and RC) Rick R. > RC Car Action > (oldest and largest) [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Xtreme RC > (scantily clad women and RC) And in the UK: Racer, and Radio Race Car (RRCi). Jonny >> RC Car Action >> (oldest and largest) Got my free sample. Nice magazine!! And there's a Christmas special for $16. It really got me drooling. I wish they'd give prices in their reviews. I was dying to know how much that Monster GT costs, but had to wait to get home and check online. :-) Thanks for the tips...I'm buying this mag. Just check the adds in the magazine there are usually 3-4 places that I see MGT. >Four that I know of: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Rick R. Links to some are on the right hand side of http://www.rcx.com/ Thanks! I've emailed each of them, and they're sending me free samples so I can decide. > http://www.rcx.com/ RCX is run by RC Car Action; the magazines on the right are all from Air Age publishing, the publisher of RCCA. They are good magazines (particularly if you are in to touring cars or nitro vehicles), but they are generally similar to RC Car Action. Same writing style, same advertisers, etc. Since I'm not into nitro or touring cars, I don't read the other magazines :-) Of the non-RCCA magazines out there, I think that RC Driver has the most competitive presentation (based on just 1 issue, since it's new), while RC Car has the densest ratio of RC content to advertising. But, RC Car is a smaller magazine. On the other hand, RC Driver is bimonthly and RC Car is monthly. So you get two RC Cars for each RC Driver.

Addendum: RC Driver has already upped the ante by also going monthly. They did it because the intial response to their magazine was rather good... and I'm very happy for them. We are all better off with some new blood. I personally have only one more comment- "Extreme R/C Magazine" is a pile of poorly-written sexist crap. Since they can't spell OR use a spell-checker properly, they have no reason to publish any text. As far as using female figures from the entertainment industry to rate products- for cryin' out loud! Maybe they should just sell an adult magazine with naked celebrities showing off various R/C vehicles. Oh-yeah, one more thing: Do NOT buy the "Buyer's Guide" that R/C Car Action will soon be releasing. You will be paying an exorbitant amount for what is basically pure advertising. You'd be MUCH better off with a Towerhobbies catalog, even if you never order from them. At least you will have a better idea of what the going prices are on the newest products! Thanks for letting me vent,  SignatureDirk (aka "!bungle") '96 LS650 (aka "Rhino") "Well, you may be a lover but you ain't no d-d-dancer" Agreed with in full!

My RC Action expires in April & I was wondering about getting a RC Driver subscription since it's less expensive. I like RCA just fine but might try something else if it's a little different. Thanks for any thoughts. Mr. Darian Rachal Darian, I think you'd be happy with either. I've read every RC magazine released in the states for a few years now and I'm going with RC Driver...

Thanks for any thoughts. Mr. Darian Rachal RC NITRO and RC Car Action share many of the same articles; word for word. RC Driver has a bunch of guys that use to work for RC Car Action. This might be why they read alike. So what's wrong with trying to carve out a different market share? Let the dollars speak for themselves.

Try explaining that to your wife, or child, and you'll see what's wrong with it :-) Rick R. |
