Congratulations on your purchase of Excalibur
Electronics’ radio-controlled Mercedes 1:12 Scale car.
This full-function model has turbo power to give you the
fastest possible speed when you want it. Other features include
super suspensions, a recharging jack (optional), air-filled rubber
tires, telescopic antenna, front-wheel steering trimmer and a fully
detailed interior. You can go forward, reverse, turn left or right,
stop and go backwards—either to the left or right!
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 van-
quished.
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 Mercedes
1:12 Scale car is another unmatched inno-
vation of Excalibur Electronics.
We make you think.

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.
OPERA
OPERATION: TION:
Extend the telescopic antenna of the controller to full length for
best performance. For maximum range of control, always keep
both antennae straight up.
Set the car and transmitter Power Switches to “ON.” The con-
troller is shown by the Red Indicator. The car is ready for use.
Use the transmitter’s control levers to steer the car.
