Does anyone have the July to December 2004 issue scans? The new link to the adrive 2004 container again is considerably smaller than the other years, so I suppose it is only the first six issues of that year.

Thanks

Chris

I scanned through this whole thread and none of these sources seem to be working. Is anyone still able to access these (or doe someone have them saved locally)?

I remember as a kid that sometime in the 80's, I'm guessing between '87 and '91, RCCA did a series of articles on modding your RC10. It was a multipart series including using a hobby knife to cut the stock arms (swapping the fronts left to right) and a bunch of other tips such as filing the 6 gear trans gears. What month/years were these articles if someone knows?

I have a website with a lot of storage and bandwidth so I might be able to host these for folks.

I think there are one or two old rc boat modeller mags in my collection. I'll take a look tomorrow.

Does anyone know offhand if the Spring 1996 Buyers Guide is included in the 1996 RCCA scans? I don't want to D/L the entire 1996 archive (500+mb) just to find out. If it's not in there, I'll scan the copy I have.
Thanks!

Okay. I'm interested, but what is a "rar" file, and what do you need to read it? Thanks!

When I try clicking on a link I get "The file you are trying to access is no longer available".

Is everyone else getting this too?
