Hey all I'm trying to find a rc car / hobby shop in the South Bay. Any suggestions??

 

There is that one bigass hobby shop in cupertino that has a track and everything. Also, there is the San Antonio Hobby Shop, next to Walmart in mountain view.

 

Do you have names? I tried to google it but I can't find anything?

 

Sheldons off of Montague is a very good shop. There's a few other ones down there, I just dont remember the names.

hobbytown just opened at the fremont hub. they moved from newark.

d&j hobbbies in san jose/campbell.

there's also another one in campbell, off camden and hillsdale. they use the parking lot as their ON ROAD track... dang, i'm forgetting the name...

in newark, a major chain hobby store just opened up too... hobby town or something like that...

whaccha looking for? gas, electric? on road, off road????

 

Sheldons!

 

Gas off road... Thanks for all the suggestions too much appreciated!

 

Hobby World?, they have a track if Antioch is not too far, they have this hick *** place called Delta RC and I honestly cannot I've ever let myself go to a place like that, but they do have a nice permanent track both indoor outdoor and off road and onroad

 

D&J is right near Camden and Hillsdale isn't it? San Thomas Acquino and all that. I used to get my haircut right next door back in the previous century.

There is one in Cupertino that is great, have to get the name. They used to have an outdoor track but it has since been closed. A co-worker of mine used to be crazy into RC cars and had about $5k into a Kyosho MP75 with CF this and kevlar that. CF suspension, 3 LSD diffs. Silly. Anyway, it's right on Miller (Wolfe turns to Miller) and in the same mall as a Safeway. I wil see if I can find the name.

Castle Hobbies is there off Camden. It's been a couple years since I was in the RC Car scene, but Castle Hobbies was THE place to race. Lots of great drivers.

Sheldon's is cool.

Unless D&J has really improved their RC Dept, they pretty much suck. Only carrying the newbie type stuff, not much in the way of actual race cars or parts.

There is a new place in Gilroy off of tenth st. I think. Indoor Carpet track and outdoor off road course. You can use the track all day for I think $10.

 

I would suggest Sheldon's and Castle over the others. Want to buy a tricked out HPI RS4 nitro?

 

I have 2.

Maybe my best story is the day I showed up and some guy that had never met me started telling me how my cars were great to get started, but when I got better, I would be ready to handle a 'real' RC racecar. He had a Serpent or something.... Well.. racetime came... I smoked him... he didn't make suggestions to me after that. It was always fun to beat up on the 'race' cars with my HPI.. somehow it was more rewarding because I knew I didn't beat them with hardware.

 

+1 ; used to go there all the time when I was young
