Pre-Order Tamiya 47527 Lamborghini Countach 5000S 4WD TT-02 (Kit Without ESC) - Due Late October

Tamiya is proud to announce the release of the Lamborghini Countach 5000S paired with our popular TT02 chassis. The Lamborghini Countach prototype was announced in 1971, and made huge waves with its futuristic form and innovative design. 1974 saw the debut of the Countach LP400 which was the first production Countach, and by 1982 it had evolved into the 5000S which employed a 5-litre engine. Around 320 5000S cars were produced up to 1985. The Countach is not only a super sports car, but also a symbol of Lamborghini, even in the modern day.

PRE-ORDER KIT: This model has yet to be released.  We have attempted to include an approximate release date in the title above, although this may change in either direction before release.

PRICE: The price makes certain assumptions about exchange rates and model content, so may be subject to change. If this happens we will always inform you and give the option to cancel.

PAYMENT: When you place a pre-order you have two choices for payment - you can pay immediately (in advance) by Paypal or by using our Nochex Card Services credit/debit card payment option. The advantage of this is that your order will be at the front of the queue if there is a shortage, but the disadvantage is that you may be paying months in advance. Note that if you cancel a pre-paid pre-order, we do not refund the processing charges if you have paid by Paypal (this is approx 2.5%).  Alternatively, and recommended, you can select our PRE-ORDER PAYMENT option where we will collect card details from you and charge them when the model is released, if not supplied online we will call you for these and put the order in queue once we have them on file for you.

Photographs may show assembled model with electronics fitted which are not included in the above price.  
 
Pricing Note: We have priced this kit above, as we do the whole range, assuming that you will not require the standard ESC unit.  If you would like the kit with the ESC included, simply add the Carson Dragster or Tamiya Hobbywing ESC from the drop down below - which adds £15-£18 to the total.  Note also, Tamiya kits do not come shrink wrapped in the UK or Japan. The box sticker may state "ESC Included" whether you order it with or without this unit.
 
Options Explained

Bearing Upgrade: These make the car run more smoothly and are easily installed during assembly. If there is no option for these shown, then the kit already includes the bearing upgrade as standard. These are entirely optional.

Radio System: There is a choice of a TWIN STICK (Traditional) radio or a Steering Wheel (Modern) radios. All operate on 2.4Ghz and use the new Crystal-Free technology, so you can run multiple cars at the same time without any interference. All radios chosen from this page will include a steering servo as these are not included in the kit itself.

ESC: This is the connection between the radio system and the motor. You have several choices. Tamiya no longer make their own ESC, instead they supply from their facilities Hobbywing or Mstyle units. Where a model number is shown (e.g. 20 or 15) that is the motor capacity of the unit - the lower the number, the more powerful a motor you can install later. All work with the motor in the kit.

Battery: The higher the number, the longer the run time.

Charger: Charge time is proportional to the battery you choose. Some examples - for the 1800 battery (others will take longer) - USB charger takes around 4 hours, Mid Speed around 2 to 3 hours, Etronix Fast Charger ET0208 can be as quick as 60 minutes in the house or 30 minutes in the car and Etronix ET0209 is even faster but mains only.
