1. A remote controlled toy vehicle system comprising:
- a remote transmitter controller for providing control signals,a vehicle having front and rear wheels for normally rollably supporting said vehicle on a travel surface coextensive with a bottom plane tangential to the bottommost portions of said wheels, said vehicle including a receiver and decoder responsive to said control signals for providing decoded control signals,cam structure mounted on said vehicle intermediate said front and rear wheels having at least one cam mounted on a cam axle constructed and arranged to have a first at-rest position with said cam entirely above said bottom plane and a second lift-initiating position with a significant portion of said cam below said bottom plane and said cam in contact with the travel surface with said front and rear wheels above and spaced from the travel surface and applying sufficient force to the travel surface to temporarily lift said front and rear wheels off the travel surface that causes said vehicle when moving to jump,said vehicle having a source of electrical power, and,at least one electrical motor mounted on said vehicle responsive to selected ones of said decoded control signals for receiving electrical power from said source of electrical power and actuating said cam structure from said first at-rest position to said second lift-initiating position.
