SF Bay Area Bit Char-G available???
 
Just wondering if there are any stores in the San Francisco Bay Area that actually carry the Bit Char-G cars and accessories. I would like to check some out and not worry about importing or eBay.


Thanks Kyotech

If you are closer to the Fremont Area, the Hobby Town USA on Ardenwood & Jarvis has lots of the Bit-CharG and the USA counterpart. Also have lots of the DigiQ's, and some of those little Tanks that you can play tag with. Prices aren't too bad, but not as good as what I've seen on the internet, they also don't have much in the way of accessories, like almost none at all.

-Try japantown for good selection but high prices.
-Read the SF race sticky flyer for 3 mall locations as well.
-Then theres this toy store on 3rd/market (forgot the name).

Cool thanks guys, I started with 2 of the ZZ and a track for my 4 year old and I. My 4 year old will stick with the stock ZZ due to it's easy to handle for his age, but I want to pick up a couple of Bits for myself to start trickin out. I use to race 1/10 RC electric but it started to get to expensive, this scale is much more easier on the pocket book.

To check some out, I think Hobby Town is a good choice. I know there's one right off of 84 in Newark. Is that the one you are talking about Jeremy386?

From there, you have lots of choices. There's always Oakland chinatown which I'm sure will have some stuff, but most likely just the OEMs (clones).

Then there's that mini import hobby place in Milpitas that just opened.

Once you cross the bridge into the pennisula, there's more choices. I've been to Jefferies in SF for comics, but haven't checked out the mini rcs. Nice store. Tokyo Tekki is opening today at 3 PM. I'm thinking about heading there to check out what they have. They are in Millbrae.

You can also get Bits and DigiQ (Or at least just DigiQ) from a Japanese computer store in San Jose called 'User's Side'. It's next door to a small Japanese supermarket off of .. dang, forgot the name. ;)

Also, there's a Users's Side in San Francisco at Kintesu mall in Japantown... maybe check there? DigiQ cost me 45 bucks at User's Side in San Jose about 8 months ago.

Kyotech 10-26-2002 05:50 PM

I want to get an original Bit or DigiQ not a clone.

NorCalCoug 10-26-2002 06:00 PM

Try User's Side if you can't get it at any of the other places. They're actually a chain of computer stores in Japan that happen to have two stores in California.
