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.
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.
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.
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.
