First Claim
Patent Images
1. A remotely controlled toy vehicle capable of performing a fishtail or spin operation, the toy vehicle comprising:
- a body;
first to fifth wheels rotationally coupled for contacting a ground and for rotating with respect to the body;
a first motor coupled between the fifth wheel and the body for rotating the fifth wheel with respect to the body for performing the fishtail or spin operation;
wherein in a first mode of operation, the fifth wheel contacts the ground, whereby the third and fourth wheels do not contact the ground, causing the toy vehicle to perform the fishtail or spin operation when the fifth wheel is rotated by the motor, and in a second mode of operation, the fifth wheel does not contact the ground, whereby the third and fourth wheels contact the ground;
an exhaust tube having an aperture disposed proximate the third or fourth wheels, or both; and
a smoke generating unit fluidly coupled with the exhaust tube for generating simulated smoke wherein the simulated smoke exits the exhaust tube at the aperture and proximate the third or fourth wheels when the toy vehicle is performing the fishtail or spin operation.

Abstract
The embodiments of the invention provide for a toy vehicle having a smoking tire function where during play of the toy vehicle the simulated smoke gives the toy vehicle an appearance of the toy vehicle performing a burnout, such as that which is seen as being performed by high horse powered drift cars, where the simulated smoke is generated by heating of a smoke fluid or through a water fogger. In either case the simulated smoke is released proximate the at least a wheel thereof to give the toy vehicle an appearance of having smoking tires.
