A toy truck having a crane arm, comprising multiple telescopic components to form a crane extension mechanism. The crane arm extension mechanism includes a crane arm that is capable of telescopically extending based on the air pressure manually provided to fill telescopic members of the crane arm. To telescopically extend the crane arm, a crank is rotated which causes an air pump to pump air into the crane arm. As the air pressure in the crane arm increases, the crane arm telescopically extends.

An enhanced hybrid battery elimination circuit, power control system, and method for R/C vehicles is provided. The system may include a power input from a vehicle battery and a converted power output to vehicle electronics. The system may also include an enhanced hybrid battery elimination circuit (BEC) electrically coupled to the power input and providing the converted power output and including a linear regulator and a switching regulator connected in parallel to the linear regulator between the power input and the converted power output. The enhanced hybrid BEC further includes a linear electrical decoupler provided between the linear regulator and the converted power output and a switching electrical decoupler provided between the switching regulator and the converted power output. Wherein the switching regulator and the linear regulator are either electrically coupled or decoupled from the output power and/or the input power based upon a monitored voltage level.

A toy vehicle that is configured to be propelled along a support surface by the force of a user's finger, including a chassis that carries at least one wheel that allows the vehicle to roll along the support surface, and a drum carried by the chassis such that the drum is able to spin about a horizontal drum spin axis relative to the chassis. The drum is carried at a height above the at least one wheel such that the drum does not touch the support surface. When the finger is moved down along a surface of the drum, a forward force is created on the vehicle that causes the vehicle to be propelled forward.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a housing and a toy vehicle inside the housing. The housing has a movable housing portion, and at least one functional element that is movable and is separate from the movable housing portion. The toy vehicle has a drive wheel that, when driven in a first rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive movement of the functional element so as to carry out a function without driving movement of the toy vehicle towards the movable housing portion, and when driven in a second rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive the vehicle towards the movable housing portion.

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 wheel for a toy vehicle, the wheel comprising an axle hub defining a wheel axis of rotation and a rim with an inboard flange and an outboard flange each having an outer diameter. The wheel further comprises a primary tire forming the tread of the wheel with a tread diameter and a tread width. The primary tire is attached to the axle hub between the inboard and the outboard flange such that it rotates with the axle hub. The wheel further comprises an outboard slip ring rotatably mounted between the primary tire and the outboard flange so that the outboard slip ring can rotate with respect to the primary tire about the wheel axis of rotation. The outboard slip ring has an outer diameter smaller than the tread diameter and larger than the outer diameter of the outboard flange.

The invention refers to a model car configured to travel on at least two different paths comprising one path and at least one other path, the model car comprising a) a car chassis (1) having at least three wheels (102, 105) rotatably mounted thereto and a tensionable spring mechanism (101) in a rotary connection to at least one of said wheels (102) for driving said at least one wheel (102), wherein the energy stored in said tensioned spring mechanism (101) is used to drive said at least one drivable wheel (102) and to propel said model car standing on a surface, b) at least one of said wheels (105) embodied as a steerable wheel articulated in respect to the car chassis (1) about a steering axis (104) wherein articulation of the at least one steerable wheel (105) is effected by means of a steering gear (3), c) a deflection mechanism (2) which is operatively connected to the spring mechanism (101) in such a way that part of the energy stored in the tensioned spring mechanism (101) is used to steer the at least one steerable wheel (105) during propulsion of the model car, and d) a coupling/decoupling mechanism (217) operable from outside the model car, functionally arranged between the spring mechanism (101) and the steering gear (3) and configured to switch a steering function of the at least one steerable wheel (105) thereby switching travel of the model car between the one path and the at least one other path.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of toy vehicles, in particular to a pull back vehicle capable of switching travelling lines including a pull back vehicle chassis. The pull back vehicle chassis includes a driving gear box, driving wheel, a driving gear, a steering wheel shaft, steering wheels and a centering spring. The pull back vehicle chassis is fixedly installed with the driving gear box, the driving gear box is fixedly connected with a driving axle, the driving axle is fixedly connected with the driving gear, and the driving axle is fixedly connected with the driving wheel, and the pull back vehicle chassis is fixedly connected with the steering wheel shaft.

An activity box includes two pairs of wheels having blind holes, two axles having two ends releasably insertable into the blind holes, and a box defining a space having a defined volume sufficiently large to fit the axles. The wheels include a first magnetically attractable component. The axles include a second magnetically attractable component secured at each end of each axle. The axles have a length spanning a width of the box, which has two pairs of through holes on two opposing sides to accommodate the axles, such that the axles are threaded through the through holes. The two pairs of wheels are rotatably attached to the box by magnetically coupling the first magnetically attractable component to the second magnetically attractable component, such that the activity box is configured to be used as a cart that can be rolled over a surface.
