Abstract: A device for controlling the steering and direction of movement of an electrically operated toy vehicle wherein the toy vehicle has a rear axle driven by a gear train from an electric motor and a worm gear on the rear axle engaging a helical gear. The front wheels are connected by a tie rod and are adjustable together from a normal straight line position to an angular position to cause the vehicle to run in a curved path. An adjusting arm on the helical gear presets the angular position of the helical gear in which a reversal of direction will occur and a plurality of such angular positions may be provided. The direct current source or battery for motor power for the unit includes a pair of electromagnets in circuit with the source of electrical current, which is direct current, and with contact members. Energization of one of the electromagnets will, through a link, connection to the tie rod, cause the front wheels to turn in one direction.
