Abstract

A radio controlled toy vehicle (110) has a central chassis (112), a front end (120) mounting a pair of front wheels (121, 122) which is rotatably coupled to the front (114) of the chassis and a pair of rear wheels (141, 142) rotatingly mounted to the chassis. A single reversible electric motor (145) is provided in the chassis (112) to selectively rotate the front end (120) with the front wheels (121, 122) about a front pivot axis (125) through a partial rotation for steering or through as many complete rotations as desired for stunts. The electric motor (145) is also drivingly coupled to the rear wheels (141, 142) to provide propulsion power to the vehicle. A power take-off (156) from the motor includes a one-way clutch (169) which rotates the front end when the motor is propelling the vehicle in a reverse direction. A pawl (190) is provided to limit the free rotation of the front end. The pawl (190) releasably engages a disc (186) around a shaft (184) rotating with the front end (120) and is overcome by providing sufficient torque to the shaft (184) of the front end.
