ABSTRACT:
A radio controlled scale model of a low rider vehicle including a chassis and first and second axels supported on the chassis, a lift assembly includes the chassis being provided with guide structure for maintaining the transverse orientation of the front axle while allowing movement of the axle relative to the chassis within a plane perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the chassis. The lifting action is accomplished by a solenoid whose push rod presses on a pivotable "L" shaped lever arm which in turn presses on the front axle causing the chassis and attached vehicle body to rise when activated and fall when released simulating a low rider "hop". The power supply located in the trunk portion of the vehicle acts as a counter balance so that the front wheels lift easily. The rear wheels are independently driven by separate motors so that when both motors are activated the vehicle the vehicle moves in a straight direction and when either motor is activated independently the vehicle turns to the left or right. Continuous activation of either motor results in a spinning action of the vehicle.
