Abstract
A toy vehicle having dynamic transformation capability includes a transformation system connected to the front and rear wheels. The front and rear wheels are pivotally mounted on front and rear swing arms, and the swing arms are in communication with the transformation system. The transformation system is radio controlled and enables the selective control of the wheel positions during operation of the vehicle. The remotely controlled selective and infinite transformation capabilities allows for changing the vehicle's wheelbase, center of gravity (cog), front/rear weight distribution, ground clearance, attitude (i.e., angle to ground plane); and the suspension travel with respect to the chassis/body in response to the terrain and driving conditions.
