OK, lets break it down.
You can get them at your local hobby shop, or online.
Check hobbytron.
They run for around 330-400 with all the supplie you need.
Keep in mind you need fuel, glow plugs, glow igniter, batteries, and a lot of patience.
If you are a beginner to nitro, I really would recommend going with electric.
I bought my CEN CT5 for 330, around 500 w/ tax and fuel etc...
I can't get the fuel mixtures right, cause I'm dumb like that.
Nitro takes a crapload of maintenace, and PATIENCE.
PATIENCE IS KEY!!!!!
If you don't think you can handle tuning the carb, and cleaning everything, then don't buy it.
Here's my story.
I got my cen ct5 last year for 500 bucks, and it was sooo fun.
I drive it once a month, for a little bit.
Nitro makes me mad when I can't get em to start, since my first 1/10th scale r/c was that nitro car.
Now, I just recently ought a team losi XXX RTR II, which is electric. You don't have to worry about starting engines, etc...
It's brushless, costs around the 350 mark. I would sugggest you don't start with nitro, but an hpi electric car. Look into the HPI Sport II, those are 250. They are decent, and HPI makes quality cars.
PROS:
-Sounds cool
-Fun to take apart
-Eh, good drifters..
CONS:
-Maintainance..
-Patience...
-Extra parts that cost a lot after a while...glow plugs AA batts...
-I could go on...
Really, I enjoy nitro, when I get my car started.

Really, how did this help him?
He wanted SITES, not suggestions on search engines.
Hobbytron, towerhobbies, pinolehobby(my lhs FTW, its one store), and a lot of other places retail the savage.
People these days...
Make your choice wisely.
