I have everything from 1986 through December 2005, and select issues from 2008+ (all the issues in between are just web-based articles), and the whole lot is 6.7 GB.

Definitely possible. I have stuff at work that does it. Its worth a try maybe. Either way I'd love a copy of them for myself too. What if I sent you some dvd's and a treat or two for your time.

Swap them on USB thumb drives, they are cheap now and easier to deal with. Reuseable too.

Hi Guys,

I too managed to get to about 1996.. I was looking for some reviews and info on the Tamiya TA-03 (from the late 90s). Can anyone shoot me over the issues with any reviews on the TA-03?

Thanks :D

I have a terabyte of online storage and the ability to upload two gigs at a time. I don't know if that will help anything. Just throwing it out there.

Articles on the TA03? Doesn't really ring a bell. Except for at least one an issue for about 3 years :mrgreen: Legit, it seems they ran something almost every month. There were reviews on at least five basic variations (FRP chassis, front and mid motor tub chassis, in both long and short wheelbase), a couple works cars, and a bunch of project cars with tons of hop-ups, and one really cool twin-motor project. By the time it got to be Car Of The Year, the COTY article ended up being one picture spanning two pages, and then a half a page of text. Nothing really left to say about it by that point.

Yeah, that's the frustrating thing mike, I started at the beginning and worked upwards. By the time I'd got to about 1996 they were gone!! Hope someone can help :)

Is there any update on this fellow '10Talkers? I'm still looking for those late 90's issues if anyone can help me? :mrgreen:

Edit, I bit the bullet and bought a second subscription.. Looks like the links are the same, but just have an 'A' in the URL now?

for instance:

Hey Mike,

I just won this lot and was going to scan it http://cgi.ebay.com/Radio-Control-Car-Action-1988-1993-LOT-Specials-/190431235094?pt=Magazines#ht_580wt_1139

Then I saw your post. Would you be kind enough to save me the time and send me the issues you saved and I'll gladly host everything online :)
