Radio Control Nitro Magazine No more..

[4u2nv]

Today I went and got the mail and got a letter from Rc nitro magazine. I thought my subscription was to run out but got this letter instead..

"Air Age Media had decided to suspend the publication of RC NITRO. The Last issue of RC NITRO was November 2005."

So for every issue that a person had left in ther subsription they will send you a RC CAR ACTION magazine instead. And if you get that magazine already they will add it to your subsription. Kinda sucks, cuz it was a pretty good little magazine. I liked the fact that everything in it was Nitro, but like alot of other Nitro mags, was all on Traxxas's junk. But other than that it was pretty good.

That kind of sucks. R/C Nitro has been a monthly addition to my pitbox since I got started...

Car Action focuses more on pitting Nitro against Electric and finding the victor. Two complete different classes if you ask me, but hey- They ARE stil in business.

I ditched them a long time ago... Xtreme Rc is all I subscribe to anymore.

I get Xtreme Rc as well. I like it, but theres alot of adds, and alot of electrics in there that I could do without, but its still pretty good.

WTF! I would die without my Rags....
No poop, I get from 1-3 a day. The mailman hates me. I read them the day they come in and toss most of them in the recycle bin when I'm done. I tear out the pages I want to explore in the trade rags, beat off to the girly stuff, and archive the RC mags for a year or so.

I'm addicted to information.....

I get a bunch of mags too. I smoke Kool ciggarettes and for some reason they send me alot of free magazine subscriptions. Alot of the ones they send me are more aimed at African Americans, but I still read em. (I'm a undercover brotha) I get King, XXL, Vibe, and The source all from Kool. (I'm a hip hop head, so the music ones are cool). But I get Espn (magazine blows) Sports Illustrated (Magazine also blows), Baseball Weekly, Blender and like 3 Rc magazines.

What would you people suggest for a RC Magazine? I'm looking into subscribing for one, and never have before... just looking for some people who already are subscribes opinions.

Thanks!

XRC, RC Driver, High Torque. I like all three of those. I only subsribe to xrc though.

I get RC Driver and am really happy with it. Lots of good reviews, setup tips, etc. without a ton of ads...

I've never been much into mags unless I had a shot in it....even when I was into skateboarding and snowboarding...I'd look at the pretty pics and put me down...too many adds in mags now....mags need to put more articles and less crap in them...I know it feeds the beast. but when the beast is driving a 100,000 car and a paid house in the hills, yet still try to amke more dough I loose respect for them...I know free enterprise and all that...I never bitch about their right to do it...I just don't like paying other people to advertise their stuff......unless I really like the product and the logo.....I can't stand seeing people spend 10 times what a shirt is really worth because it says some idiot's name on a tag......same w/ mags...I just don't see paying 4 bucks for an ad catalog every month w/ a few articles in them......maybe I'm too harsh on them but I'd rather pay 6 or 7 for an independent mag (are there any) w/o factory influences on their product comparisons.....

You and me both Ed. I get about 6-7 mags plus about the same in catalogs. And I still pick up mags at the store sometimes.

The mailman must think I am crossdresser, though. All the Victoria Secrets catalogs come in my name...(Hey, who do you think buys the wife her presents?!?)

 

[FastEddy]

I'm different then most, I like the advertisements.
Keeps me up to date on all the new products that come to market. The ones I like the best are hidden in the back from new companies that can't afford a larger ad.

Hey revo...how many presents do you think the mailman buys out of there for your wife??? The poop does happen...my neighbors wife ran off with the schwans ice cream man about 2 years ago! To this day he still won't eat ice cream. Poor sap!

(Hey, who do you think buys the wife her presents?!?)

Umm... your neighbor? :idea:
