Abstract
A free wheeling toy vehicle has the outer faces of its front wheels spaced a greater distance apart than the outer faces of its rear wheels. When the toy vehicle travels down an inclined track having upstanding sidewalls and one of the front wheels strikes one of the sidewalls due to travel of the vehicle at an acute angle toward that sidewall, the angle of travel of the vehicle is changed so that the vehicle moves away from the sidewall it has just struck. The overall resistance to movement down the inclined track is thereby reduced.
