ABSTRACT:
A vehicle toy has the same roadability as that of a conventional toy provided with caterpillars, is controllable with the same control feel as that of a conventional four-wheeled toy, has reduced travelling load, and may travel at high speed. A body is supported by a chassis portion with front steerable wheels provided at the left and right of a front end of the chassis portion. Caterpillar front and rear wheels are both provided on the left and right of a central and a rear portion of the chassis portion with left and right caterpillars therearound. A drive unit drives the caterpillar rear wheels, and a power steering mechanism is disposed at the chassis front end. The forward extent of the caterpillars may be raised above the ground when the vehicle toy travels on a flat surface. The vehicle toy is battery powered and radio controlled.
