Thank you!

I remember reading through some of these when they were new in 1986.

no no no, this is DIRECT from RC car actions website, i didnt scan anything, im never that bored lol.

RCCA offers a premium subscription for $20 a year offering all the back issues in PDF format, well they didnt put this directory into a secured/password protected section, so they are available to download for anyone, i was fiddling around there website looking for them and found them, wont divugle secrets lol.

That would be an insane undertaking for a single person to undertake. :shock: Some of those issues weren't scanned too good as some of the pages are cut off. :?

i have no idea about content of any of the magazines..

if anyone here wants to contribute and maybe take a year or two, and write down some brief descriptions of whats in each issue, that would be cool, i can right out a quick template and edit the original post. i would take a few years when i had some time too and do that..

Some page edges are. If I come across an example i'll post it. Not that it makes much of a difference.
