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

School Bus Meets Six-Wheel Trail Machine

Picture a classic school bus with serious off-road ability. The Tamiya 58653 King Yellow G6-01 delivers that concept in 1/10 scale, pairing an iconic look with a purpose-built G6-01 chassis. It is designed to be both a showpiece and a capable trail runner.

Shell and Detail Work: Ready for Paint

The clear polycarbonate body gives you a resilient canvas for custom paint. It comes with roof lights, stop sign details and sticker sheets plus paint masks for neat lines. The matte silver deep rims and large 113mm tyres complete the aggressive silhouette.

G6-01 Mechanics: Compact Strength

Under the body the G6-01 monocoque frame concentrates strength while keeping the layout slim. A centrally mounted Type 540 motor drives all six wheels through an 18.03:1 gear ratio, sealed gearboxes and three bevel diffs, offering controlled power delivery across varied terrain.

Handling and Steering Choices

Standard steering uses a two-piece tie-rod linked to one servo for straightforward handling. For tighter turning and advanced control, fit a separate transmitter with 4WS capability to steer the rear wheels as well. The suspension uses double wishbones with friction dampers for predictable movement.

Tamiya King Yellow G6-01 combines nostalgic styling with practical engineering. Its robust body and sealed drive components make it a great choice for hobbyists who like to both customise and run their models off-road.
