A double-sided toy car capable of vertical turning within a sealed track, including: a car body (1); a front wheel (2); and a rear wheel (3) including a pair of upper driving wheels (32) and a pair of lower driving wheels (31)), a maximum distance between an upper end and a lower end of the front wheel (2) is less than or equal to a maximum distance between the upper and lower driving wheels after the rear wheel (3) is maximally elastically contracted, the maximum distance is less than or equal to a height of a sealed track (4), therefore ensuring that the double-sided car can smoothly pass through a vertical turning segment, however a maximum distance between the upper and lower driving wheels before the rear wheel (3) is elastically contracted is greater than the height of the sealed track (4), therefore achieving a crawling on the vertical track.

A flipping and transforming toy vehicle capable of gripping toys, comprising a toy vehicle with elastic unfolding parts and flipping parts, toys to be gripped, an elastic gripping part and a snapping assembly. The elastic gripping part, the elastic unfolding parts, and the flipping part are folded and snapped through said snapping assembly to maintain the folded state. When the toy vehicle is pushed toward a toy such that the toy touches the snapping assembly, the snap connection of the elastic gripping part, the flipping part, and the elastic unfolding parts are released. When the snap connection is release, the elastic gripping part pops out to grip the toy, the flipping part turns downwardly to drive the toy vehicle to somersault, and each elastic unfolding part is unfolded, thereby transforming the toy vehicle from a vehicle form to a second form.

Vehicles are disclosed which have a lower center of gravity than existing all-terrain, amphibious, and unmanned ground vehicles due to the location of propulsion units and other vehicle components inside the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicles can climb over large obstacles yet are also able to corner at high speeds. The vehicles can be configured for direct manual operation or operation by remote control, and can also be configured for a wide variety of missions.

A tilt and lock apparatus that includes a tilt servomechanism, a spiral torsion spring, a lock wheel, and a lock hook is described herein. The spiral torsion spring is mechanically coupled to the tilt servomechanism and the lock wheel (which includes an opening). When a shaft is positioned through the opening, rotation of the lock wheel is in unison with rotation of the shaft. An external surface of the lock wheel includes one or more grooves. The lock hook includes a head that engages and disengages the grooves. The lock wheel is stationary when the head engages one of the grooves and is rotatable when the head disengages the grooves. The head and the grooves are geometrically aligned when engaged to prevent creation of a force that acts to disengage the head responsive to an applied force acting on the shaft.

A toy car includes a body, an ejection mechanism, a collision mechanism, a first wheel assembly, and a driving mechanism. The body includes a placement position. The ejection mechanism may exert a force on the target object placed at the placement position to eject the target object from the placement position. The collision mechanism may exert a force on the ejection mechanism when triggered by an external force, causing the ejection mechanism to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. The first wheel assembly includes a first wheel and a second wheel. The driving mechanism includes a first driving motor, a second driving motor, a first transmission structure, and a second transmission structure. The first driving motor may drive the first wheel through the first transmission structure, the second driving motor may drive the second wheel through the second transmission structure.

In one aspect, there is provided a toy vehicle that includes a vehicle body, at least one motor and a plurality of wheels. The at least one motor is mounted to the vehicle body, and is sized to have a selected amount of torque. The plurality of wheels includes at least one driven wheel which includes at least one flip-over wheel which has an axis closer to one end of the vehicle than the other end. In an upright orientation the vehicle body extends above the plurality of wheels. The toy vehicle has a centre of gravity that is positioned, such that, application of torque from the at least one motor causes the vehicle body to drive rotation of the vehicle body about the axis of rotation from an inverted orientation over to the upright orientation.

A swing arm assembly for a toy car is provided, which includes a housing, a gear train, a light strip, a circular brush disc, and two brush blades. The housing includes a cavity and a communication port that communicates with the cavity. Each gear is rotatably provided on the housing. The light strip is connected to the housing. The circular brush disc includes a first slip ring and a second slip ring, and the first slip ring is located on an outside of the second slip ring. The two brush blades are both provided on the housing, one brush blade is attached to the first slip ring and the other one is attached to the second slip ring. During a rotation of the housing relative to the circular brush disc, the two brush blades are respectively kept in contact with corresponding first slip ring and the second slip ring.

A foldable remote-control vehicle includes a body, a folding & extending subsystem, and all-terrain wheels. Guiding members of the folding & extending subsystem are directly or indirectly attached to the body at their proximal ends. The folding & extending subsystem folds the foldable remote-control vehicle between a vertically oriented position and a horizontally oriented position. The all-terrain wheels attach to a distal end of the one or more guiding members.
