The legendary King
Arthur brandished
a magic sword,
Excalibur, from
which we take our
company name.
With this unique
weapon in his
hands, he could not
be vanquished.
Although Excalibur
Electronics can’t
claim the magical
secrets of Merlin,
King Arthur’s
court wizard, sometimes our patented
technology may
make it seem as if
we could.
We make you
think!

making sure to match the polarity (+ and -)
with the diagram inside the battery compartment. Replace cover.
Battery Life
Extend the battery life by switching the unit off when not in use.
Battery life affects how your car responds. When the transmitter
range decreases, replace the batteries in the controller.
Interference
It is advisable not to use the vehicle close to high tension wires or
CB radios. Interference from radio waves may affect the vehicle’s
functioning.

Helpful Hints
• Avoid heat, water or wet surfaces, dusty surfaces or sand. Off-
road vehicles run easier on grassy surfaces.
• Avoid hard-impact collisions. Collisions against hard surfaces
may damage the vehicle.
• The vehicle cannot operate on thick carpets or dusty floors.
• If you wish to operate more than one vehicle at a time,
you must purchase another vehicle on another frequency.
• If the car does not respond to the transmitter, move closer
to the car and try again.
• If the car starts to lose power, performance may decrease.
If this happens, simply recharge your car again.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules and R&TTE
Directive 1999/5/EC. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
with radio communications.
However there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning equipment off and on, the user should try to corrct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment and the receiver into different outlets.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
How to Race:
Your transmitter (remote control) features two joysticks. The one on
the left moves up (forward) and down (backward) to control the forward and backward motion of the car. Press it up or down and hold
to move your car. The joystick on the right moves to the right and
left to control the turning of your car.
Troubleshooting:
If the vehicle does not move:
1. Are the battery contacts matched correctly in the transmitter?
2. Are the metal contact tabs touching, rusty or dirty in the
transmitter?
3. Are there batteries in the transmitter?
4. Is the power switch on the transmitter turned On?
5. Are the batteries exhausted?
Range:
When the vehicle goes beyond radio signal contact, loss of con-
trol or slowness will occur. Extend the transmitting antenna higher
for re-contact. Make sure the antenna is screwed on tightly.

Operation:
There is an OFF/ON
switch on the transmitter
and on the bottom of the
car. (See illustrations at
right and immediately
below.) Turn both
switches to “on”’ for
power. Switch the vehicle and transmitter off after use. Remove all batteries for storage.
Note: Be careful when disconnecting the
batteries, as improper handling may damage
the unit.
Trim Switch Control:
The switch is located on the underside of
the vehicle between the two front wheels. It
is used to align the wheels so that vehicle
drives consistently in a straight line. If your
car turns when it should go straight, adjust
it by turning the trim switch until the problem is eliminated.
Special Care & Handling
• Avoid rough handling such as bumping or dropping.
• Avoid moisture and extreme temperatures. For best results, use
between the temperatures of 39ºF and 100ºF (4º C and 38º C)
and keep away from fire.
• Avoid using the vehicle for long periods under direct sunlight.
Sunlight or excessive heat may damage electronic parts.
• Store the vehicle transmitter in a dry, cool place away from
heaters or warm areas.
• Do not use cleaners with chemical agent. Clean using only
slightly damp cloth. Then use a dry cloth to wipe off the mois
ture. Dust, dirt, or other foreign objects can also be removed
from your vehicle by using a brush or by tying a small bit of
cloth to the tip of a toothpick or tweezers and using that to wipe
off your car.
