The control unit includes a series of control unit directional indicia to indicate the direction the vehicle will travel when an associated actuator on the control unit is engaged. The toy vehicle, furthermore, includes vehicle directional indicia, each vehicle indicium corresponding to an indicium on the control unit. As a result, the assembly includes a pair of matching indicia—one on the control unit and one on the toy vehicle—that indicates to a child the direction in which a vehicle will travel when an associated actuator on the control unit is engaged. | 01-03-2013 |
20140170933 | ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL PROGRAMMING - A method and apparatus for programming an electronic speed controller for a radio controlled model including a programmer for interfacing a personal computer to the RX port of the electronic speed controller. The electronic speed controller software may be updated, modified or replaced through the RX port. | 06-19-2014 |
20150147936 | Autonomous Toy Capable of Tracking and Interacting With a Source - A mechanized, movable toy with the ability to interact with and explore its environment, while performing actions and creating noises at specific intervals. The toy has at least two receivers and a control unit capable of detecting wireless signals from a source and capable of reacting to move towards the source of the wireless signals. Once the toy enters within an area of the source, the toy performs a new action. The source may be a stationary device, handheld device, movable device, or another mobile toy. The toy may contain switches thereupon to switch the toy on or off. The receivers may be arranged in and around the toy to detect the wireless signals from one side of the toy or another. | 05-28-2015 |
20160016087 | ON-BOARD AUDIO SYSTEM FOR A MODEL VEHICLE - A realistic simulation of the dynamic sounds of a full-sized vehicle are created on a moving R/C Scale Model. A mounting apparatus supports an audio exciter in a model vehicle without any modification to the exciter. A full range of volume of sound may be produced by the exciter without limiting the range of movement of the exciter as volume is increased or decreased. The apparatus may limit the mechanical excursion of the exciter to prevent physical damage to the exciter. The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for operating the audio exciter in a model vehicle. | 01-21-2016 |
