Personally, I've used eBay, toyeast, and HLJ.

Tachyon,
Point taken. It was the best I could do being as I was running the stop watch and driving the car!!!! Also, remember this was a SCOOPED-UP Bit Char-G. If it was a stock Bit  it's not even worth comparing!!!

Controlling a Digi Q is ALL about throttle control!!! If you run your Digi Q AS SLOW ass a Bit Char-G you can control it FAR better!!!
If you SOOP-UP your Bit Char-G it's hard to control and spins out too!!!! The Bit Char-G has NO proportional controls AT ALL!!! Maybe after you drive that one, you'll take back THAT proportional comment you made about the Digi Q!!! 
Also, if you buy the Digi Q Special Controller, you will have more tuning ability as far as controlling spin outs!!!!

Why yes,
I have a track in my basement for Mini-Z's, ABC hobbies, and Epoch 1/43's. It is a little large for the epoch's. You can almost go full speed around the entire track!!! With mod motors in my ABC and Mini-Z, the track is a little small, but FUN.
I have lanes that have widths varying from 17" to 23". The total track dimensions are 12' x 19'1/2" with a 17' straight away. I will post some pics later on.
As far as a track for the Digi Q's, I would figure about 15" wide lanes. How fast to you want to go? Do you want to be able to get up to full speed? How many cars are going to be running at once? Do you want to have to make any sharp turns, slow down, aka spin out. So, you need to make some turning radius measurements.
I bought the Digi Q "Official" track !!! It is nothing more than an erector set!!  Anyway it's lanes are too small and the whole track is not big enough to run your Digi Q at any sort of speed. The dimensions on it are about 67" x 68". I DO NOT run on it and need to find a surface. I have not messed with it much. (Projects on indefinite hold)
Hope this helps.
Post the dimensions you DO decide on.

The railing is folded duck tape that is duck tapped to a concrete floor. The surface is disposable shop towels. The shop towels provide too much friction for the Digi Q!
I am only guessing about 15” wide lanes. Again, how fast do you want to go. How many cars on the track? A Digi Q is vastly more controllable at lower speeds but of course NOT as fun. What to do, what to do?
You need to:
-figure out what surface you want to use.
-measure the turning radius you can make on THIS new surface repeat ably without spinning out
That should give you a good place to start.
What are you using to build it? Maybe I'll build one along side you guys .........

for the person who wanted more traction, you could use 1/10th touring car traction additive.

Pretty impressive
I just bought a digi q (my first micro....) and I love it. I just have one quick question. Does anyone know if there are any upgrades available for these cars? I just ordered the special controller, but I'd like to tinker with the car some. I'm having a bit of trouble locating upgrades......Thanks

mod it with choro q tires and bodies. you can also cut out the bottom for a lower cg and better handling.
