RC Crawling mag is on the way
 
I've been wanting to do this for a while now and recently put things into motion to make it happen.

Time for my own little mag. "thumbsup"

That's just a mock-up for the cover, but Crawler will feature RC and 1:1 event coverage, reviews, tech articles, how-to articles, and all the kick-ass things you'd expect in such a mag.

Contributors will be names you all know, John Robert Holmes has signed on to do Electronics tech, and several other guys like Chino, Microgoat, DJ, Grizz, 1BadJeepBruiser, and several others have volunteered. (Thanks, guys!)

Crawler will be on sale November 11th (later than I wanted, but it all has to do with scheduling of publisher, printer, distributor, etc..) and is currently slated as a "special issue" but will go quarterly if there's enough support.

Judging by the overwhelming response we've had thus far, it seems as if it's destined to go quarterly. :mrgreen:

Got any advertising information?

We will need a spot for the official coffee of RC Crawler once the label contest is over.

Thanks Jason, it's about time!:lol:

You can email Janet.

janetl@maplegatemedia.com

Official coffee? :lol:

Dude...it was 9:30 at night when I spoke with Greg about this.

"Get a proposal together and send it in."

At 4 A.M. the proposal was done and I'd killed a pot of Kona coffee. :lol:

Cool.

You can also call and ask for the Ad dept: (203) 431-7787.

I am certainly down for this project. I will be helping out in any way possible, and may even have some new goodies debuting in the issue depending on manufacturing timeline.

Stormin2u 03-20-2008 12:45 PM

Crawling isn't a fad anymore "thumbsup"

JasonInAugusta 03-20-2008 12:50 PM

Holy crap! :shock:

The PM box is blowing up! :lol:

Thanks for the support, guys! "thumbsup"

Gimpy00Wang 03-20-2008 12:55 PM

ctrwannabe 03-20-2008 01:00 PM

awesomnesss, so how do i pre order? also i remeber a thread talking about starting a rc crawler mag, they said 4 a year, is this the case?

grover 03-20-2008 01:01 PM

Truly exciting news Jason!

Double J 03-20-2008 01:04 PM

I think this is a great deal.

I think it could also happen more than just quarterly. maybe 6 issues a year. It's only 2 more per year ?

again great job"thumbsup"

xigtc 03-20-2008 01:05 PM

I can't wait! I liked how RC Driver had articles, but having just one article per magazine is not enough

crawl rookie 03-20-2008 01:09 PM

Wow this is great news!!


ANy idea if this mag would be availeble in The Netherlands?:-(

JeremyH 03-20-2008 01:11 PM

Awesome work!

Looking forward to getting a copy.
