Tamiya Lamborghini Countach 5000S (TT-02)

The Tamiya Lamborghini Countach 5000S (TT-02) is a 1/10 scale 4WD RC car kit, built on Tamiya's TT02 chassis. It arrives as a box of parts rather than a finished car, so you assemble the chassis, fit the electronics and paint or trim the body before the first run.

Finished, it measures 445mm long with a 257mm wheelbase. The body is polycarbonate, so it takes knocks better than a hard shell.

Tamiya supply a Torque-tuned motor and an electronic speed controller in the box.
