RcCarAction Magazine

[EJMOPAR70]

Does anyone else have a subscription to RcCarAction magazine? I'm asking because I haven't received an magazine since September 2025. And when I log in it doesn't have any updated dates. I emailed them but no response. I'm worried they may have closed up shop. I guess my prepaid membership till 2028 is a loss. It's a shame. I like having a printed copy. I miss RcDriver magazine. If anyone knows anything please let me know. Thanks.

No one cares what you know. Till they know you care.

Sorry to hear man

I haven't purchased in a while but I refuse to throw out the ones I do have for some reason.
Nostalgia perhaps?

Looks like that was the last one.

Is the "writing on the wall"?...

Also this thread... seems they're gone?

I had a subscription but it does look like it's done. Honestly it was a monthly Traxxas ad. Been around a long time for sure.

Yeah, they

Yeah, they go for a nice price on Ebay. I have tubs of them also.

I haven't gotten any for a long time either. It would have been nice of them to at least send the subscribers a notice about it.

I bought one of their mags. I don't think there's much we're missing without it.

Yes, it's a cowardly move to just take people's money and run. I'm paid up till 2028

Yeah, I was paid up till 2028. Guess you can just take somenes money and run. Surely this has to be illegal. I mean it adds up. Say subscription for year is $30. Then a hundred a few thousand people buy it. Then you just walk away. I want free money. Lol

It's certainly not the same RC Car Action magazine that I grew up with. I used to spend hours in those things.

Not surprised if they closed up shop.

The kids don't do print these days. Me? Love the print. It's not some device spitting blue screen juice in my face. So I guess I need to read a book. HA

 

[aklindeman]

Yup. I signed up over the summer for a year and was pretty disappointed too. It's not a quality magazine anymore, which is sad.

Print is making a comeback though. An example would be Mountain Gazette. They put out four issues a year. They are a large format and focus on high quality photography. They also do not put any of their content online. If you want the magazine, you must get the dead tree version.

I just bought a subscription a few weeks ago, it's definitely bimonthly now. Luckily I only bought 6 months we'll see how it goes.

Air Age has been in this a long time hopefully they're doing what they know they're supposed to.

Remember "The Ayatolla of Radio Controlla"?

I remember that, but I don't remember which one of them it was.

I first read RCCA and BMX Plus! in the school library in probably first grade, 1988.

I guess the one nice thing even if the magazine is mostly done would be getting access to the Archives.

 

[RustyUs]

One of the classic RCCA Chris Chianelli moments I remember...

So radical, dude!

 

[sylentk]

Yeah, that's the guy. As a kid, I was like Huh? On some of the things he created. But that pick above, OMG, LMAO.

What about Steve Pond? He did a lot of content, if I remember correctly. If it was anything cool. It was Steve Pond.
