This model doesn't just look the part—it's engineered for performance, built on Tamiya's renowned G6-01 chassis.
Design and Build: More Than Just a Pretty Face
The King Yellow's polycarbonate body is a testament to Tamiya's dedication to realism and durability.

Its matte silver-plated deep rim wheels and rugged 113mm tires ensure it’s not just about looks—this beast is ready to tackle any off-road challenge.
The G6-01 Chassis: Innovation in Motion
At the heart of the King Yellow is the G6-01 chassis, an engineering marvel framed in a tough, slimline monocoque structure. This six-wheel drive setup is powered by a strategically placed motor, delivering power seamlessly through a gear-driven system. With sealed gearboxes and integrated differential gears, this model promises smooth performance over diverse terrains. The double wishbone suspension, equipped with friction dampers, adds another layer of stability, making it a joy to drive.
Customize Your Ride: Steering and Control
For those eager to push boundaries, the King Yellow offers a unique steering setup. The two-piece steering tie-rod configuration uses a servo for responsive handling. Want more control?
