ABSTRACT:
Remote light controlled toy vehicle is provided with a transmitting source for infrared rays of predetermined frequency through a predetermined angle of radiation and a mobile toy operatively responsive to reception of the infrared rays. The mobile toy has at least first and second wheels and a motor; with there being a first gear train permanently connecting the motor and the first wheel and with there being a disengageable second motor gear train connecting the motor and the second wheel; the second motor train incorporating shiftable components so that upon rotation of the motor shaft in, one direction, motion transmission is inhibited. The vehicle contains first and second prima movers; the first being non-reactive to the infrared ray emissions so that the first gear train will operate with the other, or second, being inactive whereby the vehicle will tend to rotate about its vertical axis. A photosensitive element is suitably interconnected between the second prime mover and the infrared source so that upon activation by the source, the second gear train will concurrently operate with the first gear train whereby the vehicle will be caused to travel in a rectilinear path.
