One for the old guys with 20 plus years in RC

[Jerold]

I wasn't deep into RC cars as a kid in the 80's...but I remember waiting every single month for my Nintendo Power magazine to arrive!!

Wish I still had them...that's a lot of RC upgrades lol


Also, welcome!

Wow, that guy is smoking something. It doesn't look like it's graded either. If he is asking that much money, get it graded.

If it was graded it woud only be worth $300! Better to let the buyer THINK its in perfect shape!

about 5 years ago i went through my stash of RC mag's, cut out all the articles i wanted, mainly readers rides/tech articles/project car articles/and a few car features, put them in a 3" 3 ring binder and tossed the rest. i only kept maybe 3 issues of RC Car Action from 1999/2000. and i think an RC Car can't remember the year/month, i just remember it was the issue with the RC10GT RTR on the cover. back when the RC10GT RTR was new, also has the Duratrax Nitro Quake feature in it.
i stopped reading RC magazines in 2001 cause they were already going down hill. i had a subscription to RCCA that ended in late 2001. i don't think i even read the last 4 issues. got it in the mail and just tossed it in the stack. i haven't thumbed through and RC magazine sense probably 2003/4

I had these stashed in the back of my RC 3ring binder. Enjoy!

DUDE THESE ARE SICK!!

I’ve got a RC Car Action sub but it’s just crawler builds and basher releases . Mainly just have the sub because I like physical copies of mags. Digital subscriptions are ok, but it’s just such a pain to read and swipe a mag from a screen. Sometimes I come across a decent article in RCCA but not typical.

Bring back racing mags! And nitro features! Make nitro great again!

That nitro rustler build at the bottom of the last pic is so sick! Looks like a modern SEMA build

OMG. RC's have changed!

 

[Snotbottom]

I wish I had held on to more of my stuff from back then. I would drool over the RCs I couldn't afford to buy as a teenager and had dreams of racing, but my little town was to small to support anything. Masami Hirosaka is still the GOAT.

OMG. RC's have changed!
