ABSTRACT:
A toy vehicle for multiple lane track racing includes rear wheels releasably driven for traction and pivotable front wheels for steering. The pivotable front wheels pivot in unison periodically at a repetition rate directly related to the rotational speed of the motor thereby causing the car to swerve alternately between two lanes on opposed sides of the track. The wheel pivoting mechanism may include a cam and snail gear for speed reduction. Pick-up shoes attached beneath the car chassis contact power conductors along the track lanes to energize the motor. An input circuit on the vehicle provides forward vehicle motion regardless of the input voltage polarity. When the vehicle is intermediate the vehicle lanes, the motor is de-energized and a clutch may disengage the rear wheels.
