Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the field of toys, remote-controlled toys for vehicles such as automobiles have been known by giving a driving command to connect or disconnect a drive motor. There are various products that can be run off-road with this remote-controlled toy,
Broadly divided, there are four-wheel drive vehicles (4WD) that drive four wheels and vehicle toys such as tanks (tanks) equipped with tracks such as endless tracks. In a four-wheel drive vehicle, the power of a drive motor is directly transmitted to enable high speed traveling, but in sandy land, grassland, etc., there is a drawback that the wheels easily sink and stack, and the structure is complicated. On the other hand, a vehicle toy equipped with a caterpillar such as a tank has high off-road running performance on off-roads such as sand and grass, but they were designed only for low speed running. Also, for example
For example, the running toy described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-43295.
As described above, the key that uses a medium-high wheel to drive the track.

b rotates forward. Therefore, the vehicle toy moves forward because all four wheels are driven in the direction of normal rotation. At this time, the rear wheels 14a, 14b and the front wheels 13a, 1
3b, two rows of gear parts 20, 20, and a caterpillar 15a,
The protrusion rows 21 1 and 21 2 of 15b mesh with each other, and the protrusion 2
Since 2 is engaged in the circumferential groove 20a between the two rows of gear parts 20, 20, the caterpillars 15a, 15b are prevented from coming off the wheel. By performing the same operation as above, the left and right motors 24a and 24b are both reversed, so that the vehicle toy retracts. Further, by rotating one motor in the forward direction to move the caterpillar and stopping the other motor to stop the caterpillar, the traveling direction can be changed to the left or right without the steering mechanism. Further, by rotating the motor on one side in the forward direction and rotating the motor on the other side in the reverse direction, it becomes possible to rotate the toy vehicle on the spot. Further, for each of the above-mentioned operations, high speed traveling and low speed traveling can be switched by manually switching the deceleration mechanism with the shift lever 29.

The left and right motors 24a, 24b are directly connected to the left and right rear wheels 14a, 14b via a speed reduction mechanism, and the left and right rear wheels 14a, 14b are respectively caterpillar (registered trademark) 15a, 15b for the front wheels 13a, 13b.
Since four wheels are driven by being connected by b, high-speed performance similar to that of a conventional four-wheel drive vehicle is possible with a simple mechanism. Further, by providing the caterpillar (registered trademark) 15a, 15b,
The ground contact area is larger than in the case of only four-wheeled vehicles,
Subsidence on off-road such as grassland is eliminated and running performance is improved. In particular, in this embodiment, the front wheel 13
