RC Car Action magazine

[CertifiedMike]

Their former Sr. Editor is a public figure within the online community and he’s a major asshat. And by that, I mean a pretentious know-it-all who is never wrong and mocks people for asking questions.

I loved the magazine when I was a kid. I even had a few cars featured in Readers Rides. I won’t even give it chance these days.

I had the joy of lining up next to him and beating his doors off at the 2022 Solid Axle Showdown. In real life, he’s a passive shy-guy but, boy, don’t let him get behind a keyboard. That’s when he’s brave.

I think I MIGHT even brag about this a little.

He knows all there is to know about building the "perfect racer" but doesn't know a thing about driving. My son was 5 at the time and was running faster times than him.

I'm fairly easy going and can honestly say, I despise very few people on this planet. This dude is one of them. Nothing about him is good for our hobby but he considers himself a messiah.

Listen, I know this is a public forum, but just between us, how do you really feel???

I think I got it all out.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.

if it's the guy I'm thinking of, legitimately can't remember his name, i concur. there was a time shortly after he left RCCA when RC Nightmare was a growing thing with a good forum that Jeremy blasted him for being a douche. i jumped on board cause i had prior issues with him on the dying/dead RCCA forum. well the guy got wind of it and joined the Nightmare forum just to argue. it went a couple pages and ether Jeremy or Brandon deleted the thread and may have banned the guy, he never posted there again.

Sounds about right. Has to be him.

I would post his name but I’m sure he googles himself often and would likely find this post.

I got an email from Air Age, I guess that's the company behind rcca magazine. They said they would send me the Sept - Oct issue and that the magazine is now published 6 times a year instead of 12.

If it goes how it normally does, soon it will be quarterly, and then gone.

surprised it's still published at all. RC Driver went away from physical media years ago.

 

[Road America]

Yup, it probably will disappear soon. Magazines have changed a lot since the "good old days". In the 1960's Car and Driver and Road and Track were absolutely great. Not any more. The cars they wrote about were a lot more interesting than anything made today, too.

I got the subscription for my 15th birthday, and it ended on my 16th birthday. I never received multiple magazines, but I also received duplicates from the same month. Kinda unusual.

My mom insists on getting a TV guide magazine. It's always been weekly, but over the years it's up to 3 weeks per issue. So if they miss one. I gotta listen to it for almost a month!
