Not getting involved in the slagging off of the mags, both have been brilliant beyond and above the call of duty to myself and the Micro Section with all the promotion we try and do.

As for the "why has rock crawling got so much coverage"...if it wasnt for Dez Chand giving me about 6 pages for the first UK Micro Challenge event in 2007 and probably the same amount for UK Micro Challenge 3 I doubt we would have had the public knowledge of the micro scene as we do now.

Both RRCi and RACER have also promised a load of pages to the UKMicroX 2010 event in august and I am eternally greatful for all the coverage I can get in both mags!

I dont think anyone is right to knock the mags for giving coverage to something new, or a new class...this hobby is about RC and the mags are all about promoting RC..not just 1/10th on and offroad.

Granted I have zero interest in rock crawlers and Mini-Z's but ive seen the micros that I represent go from nothing to having reviews, event coverage and even myself and my Championship winning Blaze being spread over about 4 pages of RACER! (Thanks Mat!!)

Everything has its place...
