EAGLELITE. I don't believe there are truggy specific magazines available. I haven't picked up or ordered any RC magazines for at least a couple of years now, but my favourite used to be "RC CAR ACTION". This mag had good informational articles, RC car tests & reviews including truggies, buggies, monster trucks, crawlers, etc. It also used to have a section for new RC products, readers rides and custom RC CAR builds by the magazine crew. Years ago, I signed up for Tower Hobbies Super Saver Club Membership and believe I got a 1 year subscription to RC CAR ACTION at a big discounted price, and it was delivered by mail (I live in Canada), which is very convenient especially if this magazine is not easily available in your area. Since I liked the RC mag so much, my wife ordered me a 2 year renewal subscription as a gift, also at a big discounted price.

You can also order any backorder issues of RC CAR ACTION or other RC magazines through AirAgestore.com. If you are interested, the new ARRMA Talion V3 was just tested and reviewed in the February 2018 issue of RC CAR ACTION magazine. Hope this helps...

Rc car action is the only one I know of as well. And the Tower Super savers club membership was only $4.99 a year. It pays for itself on your first order.

I know these are not publications, but RC Network and of course Aussie RC Playground are also worthy of viewing if you are interested in the new V3 Talion.

Another E-Mag is Big Squid. http://www.bigsquidrc.com/

I like them, but some folks say they are BS... (Get it? )

They have had recent reviews of the Fazon Voltage, Senton Mega, Typhon 2018, and Talion 2018.

Yes, Big Squid RC is a good E-Mag resource, however, their decisions can definitely be questioned sometimes, such as their 2017 bash vehicle of the year pick, although the 2018 Arrma Talion did come in second. If the Kraton was available for their test...Anyways, here is their review of the 2018 Talion:

Yeah, but the 8s Xmaxx is a true Beast. And I say that as a Traxxas hater. (maybe hater is too strong, but..) It is probably one of only 2-3 decent products that Traxxas makes, and they got it mostly right, best I can tell.

The 6s Xmaxx, not so much.
