Default Which Mag for Electric Offroad?

While I'm sure all the magazines cover most aspects of RC, are there any that have a concentration on electric offroad these days? I want to subscribe to a mag but I want to avoid one that focus's mostly on nitro.

Thanks!

RC car action mag should be fine.

They are all pretty much the same. They all have the same reviews within a month of each other. I had subscriptions to like 3 of them and that is what I noticed....

RC Driver magazine has some pretty good stuff, those guys still race electric off-road locally when they can. I don't think any of the magazines concentrate on electric though.

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning toward RC Driver or RCCA. I guess I'll just toss a coin.

RC Car Action is loaded with nitro stuff.
Xtreme RC Cars has really good mix of all forms; nitro offroad, electric offroad and onroad with great how-to's and some HOT women.
Great Magazine!

Maybe I'm laying a guilt trip on ya FOOLIO. But I carry RCDriver and XRC Cars. I know you save a lot of money on subscriptions, but maybe you don't want EVERY issue. You may save dough by only buying what you REALLY want. Just a thought.

Hey that doesn't mean that I still won't pickup and occasional issue of the magazine I choose not to subscribe too...

Well, let's be realistic here. If I was buying the magazine just for the girls...I would probably be buying a magazine that is, shall we say, more focused on their assets rather than RC cars...

Take the girls out and I think they still have the best mag..., but nothing wrong with a little bonus right?
