Abstract
A toy racing car or other vehicle for operating on conventional track of a given scale a comprises a sub body, including a chassis, motor and gear set, pickup shoes and drive wheels, and a visible body of much larger scale, with large scale rear drive wheels. In one embodiment, the body is pivoted to the sub body, so as to swing outwardly in turns, simulating a broadsliding race car; large scale front wheels are carried by the sub body, so as to simulate countersteering. A toy motorcycle similarly comprises a sub body and modeled motorcycle components; the front wheel and fork of the motorcycle remain upright in turns, while the rider and frame lean over, simulating a motorcycle leaning in a turn.
