Make sure that the ON—OFF Power Switches on both the car
and the transmitter are set to “OFF” before installing any batter­ies.

CAR BATTERY INSTALLATION:

Find the battery compartment on the bottom of the car. Use a
small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw. Turn the white
wheel in front of the battery compartment until the compartment
is no longer covered by the wheel and then lift off the cover. (See
diagram below.) Install eight AA nickel-metal hydride batteries
(not included) in the battery box, making sure to match polarity
(+ and -) with the diagram inside the battery compartment. Make
sure that the battery box is correctly placed in the compartment.
Then replace the cover and turn the white wheel until the battery
compartment is secure. Replace the screw and tighten gently.

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. The radio-controlled Porsche
1:12 Scale car is another unmatched inno­vation of Excalibur Electronics.

We make you think.

slowly or not at all, check the wheels for lint, threads, hair,
dust or other foreign materials. Carefully remove any of these
materials from the wheels.

• When the car slows down or the control range decreases, insert
new batteries.

• Please do not allow the car to fall off a high ledge, as a fall
might damage it.

• Never disassemble your car or the transmitter.

• Do not store the car either near a source of heat or in direct
sunlight for extended periods.

• You may experience interference from CB radios which use
the same frequency. If this occurs, move to a new location or
wait until the interference is over. Also, two or more R/C cars
using the same frequency cannot operate in the same area
since their signal will interfere with each other.

• The transmitter range will depend on surroundings, buildings
and large metal objects. You will obtain the best results when
you operate the car in an open area.

• When not in use, set the car and transmitter Power Switches to
“OFF.” If you do not intend to use the car for a long time,
remove the batteries, as weak or dead batteries can leak
damaging chemicals.

SAFETY

SAFETY

• Never operate your car in the street, in water, sand or on thick
carpet. Rain can cause rust to be formed inside the unit.

• For maximum battery life, stop racing your car after
15 minutes of continuous use. We recommend a rest period
of approximately 30 minutes.

• If you have installed new batteries and the car still moves
