ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a radio-controlled toy racing car having an elongate, light-weight tubular body constructed of polymeric material. Rotatably mounted on the front end of the body is a front wheel and steering shaft for controlling the directional turning movements of the car. The car is supported at its rear end by a pair of wheels mounted on the respective outer ends of an axle extending laterally from the body, and is driven by an engine pivotally mounted on the body adjacent the rear end thereof. A spoiler is pivotally mounted on the body and behind the engine at a position near the rear end of the body and above the center of the axle to utilize the wind force of the drive engine's propeller to exert a downward and stabilizing force on the rear wheels. Further, a braking element comprising a parachute is housed within the body near the rear end thereof. Control of front wheel movement, engine operation, and parachute deployment are effected remotely from a radio transmitter sending signals to a receiver and separate control elements mounted on the body for the front wheel, engine, and parachute.
