I'm really surprised that there isn't a Mini/Model trucker magazine out there (or is there). I mean I go in the book store and there is 500 different magazine about every obscure topic. But never nothing just about model RC trucks. I wish I had the capital to start one up.

I doubt there is a big enough market. Just how many pages of advertising could you fill up in such a publication? Reading this forum is all I need.

There is TMW that has some RC trucks every now & then, but it is easier to read and find RC trucks on the net at least you have a up to date on a truck and what its doing also, and on the net you dont have to read half a mag full of adds or you buy the mag at the shop its in plastic you get it home and Its full of crap ..................
I would rather read something on the net these days at least I get to choose what I read and don't read.....

I agree with Steve. As much as I enjoy the hobby I dont think there is enough interest in a magazine to warrant having one. I used to subscribe to a magazine called Legendary Ford for a few years, all of the sudden I quit getting it. It turns out the the awful economy at the time (late 2008) made the publication turn to an Ezine. I must admit I was pretty pi$$ed off. I would rather have a magazine in my hand to read than sit in front of a computer. It would be kinda cool having an RC truck and construction mag though!:)

I was just going to mention Germany as having a very large following so I would not be surprised to see one over seas. But here in the US it's just not large enough to fill a mag unless u want one with 72 tamiya ads and maybe a dozen for wedico.
I would love to see one myself and am always checking the book stores in hopes of finding one but I never hold my breath.
