A good place to buy them is from R$, almost every store have disabled RC
cars that are not cost efficient to repair.  Usually you can just make them
an offer on the non-functional toys, even $2 a car is better than the store
throwing them away.  And at the same price, it is a steal for you.  I just
picked up 5 cars for 10 bucks and most of the problems are with the
receiver board, and I wasn't going to use it anyhow.
