ABSTRACT:
A directional control for small action toys. The toy includes a spherical ball lead element which directs the movement and direction of the toy in a downhill gravity path and a pair of trailing ground wheels which bear the weight of the body and chassis of the toy. The ground wheels are positioned at the balance point of the toy to keep the weight of the toy off of the spherical ball to enhance turning performance. A removable retainer secures the spherical ball in position and allows easy removal of the ball for cleaning.
