Really though, how many rc car magazines do we need? Besides being Traxxas catalogs (though that has gotten better), its not uncommon for them to cover the same products within a couple months of each other, so they tend to be repetitive.

They had a few things that made them stand out. Guess it wasn't enough.

I thought it was a decent mag. But I spend about $150 a month on magazines so not having to buy one won't hurt my feelings!

That explains why we haven't gotten the latest ones at work then.

That really sucks. Its the only mag that I buy every issue of. I pay full cover too at the book store, just to make sure my cover is not destroyed by mail.
Really sucks. I will really miss the professors too!

Also sucks that we were covered by XRC last weekend at the B-Day Bash G6, and we were all looking forward to seeing ourselves and the event in the mag. Already told my oldest daughter about it and I told her I'd get her a copy.

XRC will be missed and I really hope that all the guys have good luck finding new jobs. This is a bad time of year to lose your job.

Sucks to see another big business go out...but, I never even read mine. Always so far ahead of whats in the magazines usually from being on the net that they just go on a shelf when they arrive...

It's my restroom reading material. I just love RC and have since 1983 and spend a decent amount of time with it on my mind. I know we are all way ahead of the magazine material, but it is a little connection to the real world through our hobby. Just makes me feel good looking through it every month, and I will really miss it

This really bums me out. It's the first RC mag I subscribed to and I felt like I knew all the guys that worked there. They were my virtual RC buddies.

On top of that I met Dave P at the first Axial West Coast Championship and he was/is a great guy. Then, I started covering the AWCC for XRC after that. I'm really gonna miss this magazine and hope all the guys can find new jobs quickly.

I would imagine RC mags are like car mags in they are for people who don't troll forums all day reading about how to be a better hobbyist. Or should I be buying one?
