Tamiya 58653 King Yellow G6-01 School Bus Themed 6x6 RC Kit  [58653]

King Yellow - Novel Styling with Practical 6WD Performance

Think vintage school bus charm combined with practical off-road ability. The Tamiya 58653 King Yellow G6-01 brings that mix in a 1/10 R/C package, marrying a distinctive body with the G6-01 six-wheel drive mechanicals for dependable trail use.

Exterior Features and Finish

The polycarbonate shell is built for hobbyist painting while resisting impacts. It includes roof lamps and a stop sign detail, with sticker sheets and masks to help achieve crisp paintwork. Deep rim wheels and 113mm tyres add clearance and a planted look.

Chassis Layout and Drive System

The G6-01 monocoque chassis provides a compact, sturdy platform. A Type 540 motor transmits power through a gear-driven arrangement to sealed gearboxes and three bevel differentials, delivering consistent 6WD propulsion. The independent double wishbone layout with friction dampers promotes steady handling.

Controls, Steering and Options

Stock steering is a two-piece tie-rod setup driven by one servo, offering reliable control. For enhanced manoeuvrability fit a separate transmitter capable of 4WS to activate rear steering. The model is receptive to common performance upgrades such as stronger servos and different tyre choices.

The Tamiya King Yellow G6-01 is a fun and capable build that appeals to modellers and trail drivers. It pairs a characterful body with practical 6WD engineering and gives clear upgrade paths for handling or scale fidelity.
