Tamiya Lamborghini Countach 5000S (TT-02)

The Lamborghini countach made an impressive debut with a futuristic prototype in 1971. Its first mass production model LP400 was released in 1974 and after several upgrades, it evolved into the powerful 5000S model with a 5,000cc engine, around 320 units of which were produced by 1985. The countach remains a symbol of Lamborghini and a prominent member of the global pantheon of super sports cars.

Adaptable TT-02 Chassis offers balanced shaft driven 4WD

The shaft driven 4WD TT-02 chassis employs a longitudinal layout with the battery on the left and the motor on the right, to offer excellent stability. In addition, it features identical left and right suspension arms and uprights for ease of assembly, plus easy-to-maintain gearboxes. It is a highly adaptable chassis, as it offers 2 different wheelbases, 2 ground clearance settings (the higher position is used with the Lancia Delta Integrale) and 2 tread set-ups in addition to a range of 10 possible gear ratios. It is not short on looks either, with brake disc-shaped wheel hubs and stylish front bumper supports.
