Miniature Countach with authentic presence

The Tamiya 56712 Lamborghini Countach LP500S GT01 RTR offers a faithful 1/12 scale representation of the iconic supercar in a ready-to-run format. It suits enthusiasts who value accurate styling combined with immediate usability.

GT-01 setup for controlled performance

The GT-01 chassis combines a lightweight layout and low center of gravity to promote steady handling. The Type 370 motor drives the rear axle, while the independent double wishbone suspension with horizontally mounted front dampers helps the model tackle bumps with composure.

Efficient drivetrain components

The model features a ball differential, a slipper clutch and a universal drive shaft, all supported by full ball bearings to ensure efficient torque transfer and dependable operation during spirited driving.

Recreated bodywork and secure fittings

The wedge-shaped Countach body is produced in lightweight polycarbonate and is supplied pre-painted. It secures to the chassis via a reverse body mount system with additional side mounts, and includes a driver figure for added period appeal.

Ready-to-run kit with upgrade paths

Included with the model are a compact ESC, receiver, servo and a 2-channel transmitter so you can begin running immediately. A wide selection of option and spare parts is available for repairs and performance tuning.

Upgrading tyres, fine-tuning suspension geometry and fitting higher quality shocks or a tuned slipper clutch are common mods that noticeably improve handling.
Store the car in a dry place away from direct sunlight, remove batteries for long term storage and cover the body to prevent dust build up.
