Thanks i found interesting articles.
Do you know if there exists any RC Car action Magazine or any other magazine who have covered the 2004 Ifmar Worlds 1/12 race or the winning car of Masami Hirosaka?

Hi GoMachV, do you have a link for the 2003, 2004, 2005 RCCA magazines, or can anyone else help out with this.

cheers

That explains a lot I noticed pages missing in most of the issues, unfortunately some of these pages only have like a 1/4 page ad, etc. and the content is missing as well.

Curious why all the advertising was removed in the first place as most of the companies are out of business.

Regardless, I do appreciate you hosting these Jeff, I've used them as reference quite often. Thank you! :mrgreen:

I’m not sure why except that rcca had these listed for free download years back and maybe they just didn’t want the advertisements to be shown because the companies didn’t pay in perpetuity. I could see some companies thinking like that. $$$.

Looking for a 1987 issue that had an article about 3D painting on a Tamiya Blackfoot body. I want to verify if I located the original body. I can’t seem to get any of the PDFs to download.

Thanks!

Hi, I've got all the PDFs, I'll have a look through them and see if I can find it for you.

I don’t recall seeing that in an issue of RCCA but went through my 1987 & 88 issues and couldn’t find it...

Off-topic but I amended the first post with a link to the issues. It's the only way I know of to still get them. At least for the moment that is.

Hello, I'll admit to being a long time lurker in this forum, but thought I'd pop my head up and ask:

Does anyone have a .pdf download link that they could kindly share? I'd love to brim my tablet with these and flick through them.

I'll admit I have got a fairly small stash of these from the late 90's /easrly 2000's lurking under the bed!

I don’t know if @GoMachV ever got the google thing fixed.. but I use the internet archive. I also have a complete collection of RCCA 1986-96 if you’re looking for anything specific.

Never did get it fixed. Super irritating. First they wiped out all my old RC videos then they gave me a chance to opt out of the file name change, I took an entire evening marking everything so it wouldn’t get updated and whamo. They done updated it blowing up all the links
