1. A dual-wheeled, remotely controlled vehicle, comprising:

  • a body member having a left portion, a right portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a front portion, and a rear portion;

    a first motor attached with the body member for coupling with and driving right wheel;

    a second motor attached with the body member for coupling with and driving a left wheel;

    a receiver attached with the body member for receiving control signals from a remotely controlled transmitter, the receiver being independently connected with both the first and second motors such that a control signal from the remotely controlled transmitter provides for independent control of each of the first and second motors and their respective right and left wheels; and

    an elongated member connected with the top portion that extends beyond both the front portion and the rear portion, and where the elongated member further extends beyond the peripheral portions of the wheels, such that when the wheels are attached and engaged, the elongated member is forced toward a supporting surface, thereby preventing the body member from continuously spinning in place, whereby through use of a remotely controlled transmitter, a user can independently control each of the first and second motors, such that if the wheels are attached, uni-engagement of the left or right wheels alone causes the remotely controlled vehicle to turn, and bi-engagement of both the right and left wheels in opposite directions also causes the remotely controlled vehicle to turn, while bi-engagement in the same direction causes the remotely controlled vehicle to propel itself forward or reverse, thereby allowing a user to maneuver the remotely controlled vehicle in forward, reverse, left, and right directions.
