  • Patent number: 5527059
    Abstract: A remotely operated vehicle height adjustment apparatus for toy or model wheeled vehicles. A motor is provided for each road wheel, the output being reduced in reduction gears. A lever or suspension arm is fixed to the output shaft of the gearset, and is pivotally driven, or angularly displaced. Each road wheel is fixed to the end of one suspension arm, and is raised and lowered relative to the vehicle body when the motor is operated. Inertial and frictional forces within the motor and gearset maintain the vehicle raised or lowered after the motor is deenergized. Wheels are individually controlled, the resultant vehicle attitude mimicking any of several real world vehicle effects, such as acceleration, cornering, and the like. The vehicle is remotely controlled from a switch controlling the various wheels individually, and is connected to the vehicle by communication cables.
