Abstract

A remote controlled toy vehicle system is provided, which includes: a remote controller adapted to generate a first signal; and at least two remote controlled toy vehicles adapted to control each other via a second signal, and each remote controlled toy vehicle adapted to receive the first signal from the remote controller. Each remote controlled toy vehicle comprises: a vehicle body; at least two conveyers disposed laterally on opposite sides of the vehicle body used for conveying as well as turning the vehicle; a receiver adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal each originated remotely; and a group of electrically actuated actuators (electric motors) that act according to the first signal, having at least two actuators each acting upon the two conveyers.

       3 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 1  further comprising a speaker adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.  
   
   
       4 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 1  further comprising at least one light adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.  
   
   
       5 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 1  further comprising a transmitter transmitting the second signal.  
   
   
       6 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 15 , wherein the receiver is disposed on the upper body portion.  
   
   
       7 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the first signal or the second signal are each adapted to be transmitted at various frequencies.  
   
   
       8 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the first signal is originated remotely from a hand-held remote controller.  
   
   
       9 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the second signal is originated remotely from a second remote controlled toy vehicle, which is substantially similar to the remote controlled toy vehicle.  
   
   
       10 . The remote controlled toy vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the conveyers are caterpillars.  
   
   
       11 . A remote controlled toy vehicle system comprising: 
 a remote controller adapted to generate a first signal; and    at least two remote controlled toy vehicles adapted to control each other via a second signal, and each remote controlled toy vehicle adapted to receive the first signal from the remote controller, each remote controlled toy vehicle comprising: 
 a vehicle body;  
   at least two conveyers disposed laterally on opposite sides of the vehicle body used for conveying as well as turning the vehicle;    a receiver adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal each originated remotely; and    a group of electrically actuated actuators (electric motors) that act according to the first signal, having at least two actuators each acting upon the two conveyers.    
   
   
       12 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 11  further comprising an upper body portion rotably connected to a top portion of the vehicle body disposed to rotate in relation to the vehicle body.  
   
   
       13 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 11  further comprising a speaker adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.  
   
   
       14 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 11  further comprising at least one light adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.  
   
   
       15 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 11  further comprising a transmitter transmitting the second signal.  
   
   
       16 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 15 , wherein the receiver is disposed on the upper body portion.  
   
   
       17 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 11 , wherein the first signal or the second signal are each adapted to be transmitted at various frequencies.  
   
   
       18 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 11 , wherein the first signal is originated remotely from a hand-held remote controller.  
   
   
       19 . The remote controlled toy vehicle system of  claim 11 , wherein the second signal is originated remotely from a second remote controlled toy vehicle, which is substantially similar to the remote controlled toy vehicle.  
   
   
       20 . A method for playing with a set of remotely controlled toy vehicles, comprising the steps of: 
 providing a remote controller adapted-to generate a first signal;    providing at least two remote controlled toy vehicles adapted to control each other via a second signal, and each remote controlled toy vehicle adapted to receive the first signal from the remote controller, each remote controlled toy vehicle comprising: 
 a vehicle body;  
   at least two conveyers disposed laterally on opposite sides of the vehicle body used for conveying as well as turning the vehicle;    a receiver adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal each originated remotely; and    a group of electrically actuated actuators (electric motors) that act according to the first signal, having at least two actuators each acting upon the two conveyers; and    when a first remote controlled toy vehicle receives the second signal from a second toy vehicle, activating at least one motor for a predetermined time by the first remote controlled toy vehicle.
