Traplet - RRCi.

GAME OVER!!

Just received a letter this morning, dated 05NOV15 stating the December 2015 issue of Radio Race Car International will be the last issue.

Quite sad really .... and in particular now - I was waiting for a review of the X-Maxx - perhaps there will be in the final issue.

To those who contributed to the magazine, thank you for your informative presentations.

agreed it is sad, i did used to pick up the odd copy if i saw it in the shops, only problem was, none of my local shops stocked it, so it was only when i used to go into a WHSmiths did i see it

[atom3624]

I used to pick it up from time to time, left it, then found some stories I really wanted were in editions I hadn't bought, so had it delivered for the last few years.

Anyway, back to the gossip columns, sorry, forums I suppose.

I received my final edition a few days ago.

I just wondering what happens to the final two issues of my subscription? No mention of anything so far.

Glad i didn't renew when they wanted me to two weeks ago!

Just checked the one I received a few days ago - THAT'S IT!!

FINAL COMMEMORATIVE EDITION.

Never mind - I'll keep that one.

No X-Maxx tests then - SHAME!

I get it on my tablet. And it asked if I wanted to subscribe for 12 months.

I'm glad I didn't.

Sad news for sure, especially being as me and my boys scalers were in the magazine after the scale nationals.

[Andythecrane]

I've not long found the mag, as its hard to find in any shops. Unless you are near a big wh smiths. And they are closing shops all over.

Hopefully there will be a place for a digital magazine.

are there any other magazines that cover rc cars????

[chewbacca]

RRCi will be back in a digital format so it's not all over. And don't forget the Facebook page, if you have FB head over there and sign up. 

[Andythecrane]

The Facebook is OK, but the magazine is far and away better.

Strange, but for me it was one of those things I preferred printed, not just yet another electronic page - probably better and even more accessible, but just not the same.

I know what you mean Al but I guess Pete has his reasons.

bad times for the magazine, sadly the way of the world now, i will miss the decent articles too

Yeah there's Racer magazine, and my local specialist magazine shop used to stock a little American one which was quite good.

[heavyDT]

Judging by the letter I received this morning there doesn't appear to be a digital edition coming any time soon

Not good at all.

I have it on good authority that it'll be sooner rather than later. 

[heavyDT]

That's good news because I think I will probably carry on my subscription if this is the case

The old world is dead, long live the new!

Guessing this is down to publishing costs vs readers? 

I hope an online version takes the place of the hard copy magazine.....much easier and less hassle to take to the loo and read on a tablet

Don't fancy letting the wife's laptop fall down the bog!!

Tablets I take when I'm ill - find them an annoying convenience.

Yes, yes it does.....with a very long ethernet cable

What no wireless! or is that still classed as a radio up there lol

[Noj]

The bog is so far from the house, the wireless signal won't reach without sticking a booster in the shed.

T'wireless works fine, were listening to Radio Whippet on it this very morning....can't beat Bakelite and D Cell batteries
