1/12 Tamiya RC Countach '80s Lamborghini LP500S TamTech Gear GT-01 2wd RTR Model

Description: *Batteries not included (requires 7.2V rechargeable Ni-Cd *see pic & 8 AAs + charger)Make sure you read, research, and 100% want the item before clicking. Due to the car's age and nature of the hobby, no returns, warranty or refunds.Unfortunately this now has a "free" shipping option due to ebay pressure. Pick a paid shipping service if outside the 48 contiguous states or if faster delivery is needed. Free FedEx or USPS will be used, not necessarily what ebay states, unless you pay for a specific service.Note: The exact car in the photos may have been sold. Buyer will receive one like it. For reference, the last pic shows the real full size car, which is obviously not included.Don't delay. I can't promise it will stay this price or it could sell out. Plus, the fees and shipping are over $125 on my end.This is new, unopened, but it's also close to 15 years old. New cars may still have problems. For example, the first RTR Tamiya I bought years ago had a bad servo. It's rare, but not unheard of.If you want something fast, the TT Gear is not it, unless you modify it with parts sold separately. It's also a decent substitute as a model since diecast versions in this size tend to cost a lot.This is a 1/12th scale car (Length: about 13 inches). Just like a real Countach, this is 2wd with wider rear wheels than on the front. It's not 4wd like some other kits sold. It's also not the usual box of parts, but it is pre-built by Tamiya instead. Comes with a brushed motor and a MHz radio/receiver. Upgrades are available but sold separately.*Box may have wear, dents or imperfections. Tires may have dried out or just have white residue on them. Box window may have fine scratches and paint on it that came from the side mirror as seen in pics.This is one of the best and most detailed RC Countachs available (there's even a driver, dashboard, and partial steering wheel for scale realism). Released 2008 and becoming more and more rare.This could be one of the last chances to get this discontinued Tamiya. Plus it ships from the U.S. And if you buy it, it will actually get shipped unlike items from some other sellers.At the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, the Lamborghini countach prototype was put on show. Three years later in 1974, Lamborghini released the first LP400 model countach with the LP400S the LP500S models soon following. At the 1982 Geneva Motor Show both the LP400S and LP500S prototypes were showing off their overhanging front and rear fenders and a rear wing option. In 1985, approximately 320 of these vehicles sporting a new 4754cc motor replacing the previous 3929cc motor were manufactured.The Countach was a staple of the '80s. Made famous by numerous posters, Transformers, movies like Cannonball Run, etc. One recently appeared in the '80s style movie Kung Fury which can be seen on YouTube.

However, for less than 1% of buyers out there, make sure you don't have problems receiving mail. If you do, like a full mailbox, no access or tendency to reject packages for example, pick the item up from the shipping company quickly. There is a 20% restocking fee on all items that come back and original shipping cost will be lost. Also, and this is extremely rare. But if something serious happens to the item in transit and you may not feel like messaging me or following the directions of the shipping company (not ebay) in order to solve the problem, then buy from a different seller. Finally, to reiterate, make sure you 100% want the item before clicking and your address is 100% correct. Due to bogus fees and wasted time, there are no refunds/cancelations unless the order has not shipped and you agree to losing at least 5% of the total payment. That unfortunately includes 5%+ of the shipping cost also. If the order has been shipped, a refund *might* be available minus 100% of all shipping costs and minus 20% of the buy price.
