Described is a remote control (RC) vehicle having a convertible wheel (e.g., front wheel) with a plurality of blades. The blades are controlled with a controller to cause the blades to transition between retracted and expanded states to create a buzz saw-looking wheel for multi-terrain applications.

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.

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.

A suspension system for radio-controlled vehicles improves stability and traction. The suspension system includes a chassis, a motor pod plate, a shock absorption system, an upper pitch suspension link, a lower pitch suspension link, a left yaw suspension link, and a right yaw suspension link. The shock absorption system is used to reduce vibrations caused by impacts onto a radio-controlled vehicle. The upper pitch suspension link and the lower pitch suspension link allow the motor pod plate to pivot back and forth about a pitch axis of the chassis in order to increase stability and traction. The left yaw suspension link and the right yaw suspension link allow the motor pod plate to pivot back and forth about a yaw axis of the chassis in order to further increase stability and traction.

A suspension shock absorber for remote control (RC) cars includes an inner tube and an outer tube coaxial with each other. The hollow area inside the inner tube defines a hollow chamber where a piston and a piston rod slidably moves. A shock cap seals the top of the inner tube and the outer tube. The space between the coaxial inner tube and outer tube is used as an inter-tube bypass route through which bypass oil flows. The shock cap has a bypass passage connecting the inter-tube bypass route with the upper portion of the hollow chamber. A bypass valve in line with the co-axis of the inner tube and the outer tube is disposed on top of the shock cap and used to regulate the amount of oil flow through the bypass passage.

A transformable robot comprises an arm structure, a leg structure and a head of the robot which are fixed to a ribcage structure. The arm structure includes a left arm and a right arm; the leg structure includes a left leg and a right leg; the ribcage structure includes a first steering gear fixed on an upper part of a second fixing frame; a rotating output shaft of the first steering gear successively passes through a top wall of the second fixing frame and a first backing plate to fixedly connected to a first steering wheel fixed on a first rotating frame; the first steering wheel is provided with an arc-shaped limited opening; a limited column on the first backing plate is movably passed through the limited opening; the rotating output shaft of the first steering gear rotates to drive the first rotating frame to rotate.

The present invention relates to a toy vehicle assembly. The assembly includes a first toy vehicle and a second toy vehicle. Furthermore, the assembly includes a connector for connecting the toy vehicles. Advantageously, the toy vehicles may be connected together so that a player may play with both vehicles at the same time with one hand only to thereby significantly enhance the playing experience.

A magnet holder insert comprising a magnet and magnet holder housing designed with internal wall features capable of keeping the magnet properly positioned in the holder device, and external wall features capable of keeping the magnet holder device securely mounted in the finished part. The internal and external fastening elements of the magnet holder housing are designed in such a way as to promote rapid and secure assembly of both the magnet device and the finished part. The exposed surface of the magnet holder device can be configured with flat or dome shaped exposed contact surfaces, depending on how secure or flexible the magnetic joining feature is intended, capable of attaching to another magnet device or a material susceptible to magnetic attraction.
