[@joeyfesta2042]

I’ve been in the hobby now 20+ years or so. I am a left-handed driver, therefore I’ve been driving RC trucks for so long,holding the remote upside down.Now I found FlySky Noble which enables me to drive comfortably like everyone else. The purchase is being made as you’re reading this.I will write my review after a few months of testing. Your reviews are very inspiring and the reason for this purchase today.Thank You so much for all the great precise information.

[@underengineered_1077]

you do by far the best reviews for mini rc products. thank you for all your work.

Best review of the FS Nb4 !

[@GarageMiniRCUK]

Love your reviews, the details you pick up, so much useful detail, always learning from your vids. I'll be reviewing it with the mini z hopefully this weekend. If it's ok with you I'd like to drop a link to your video as a more comprehensive review. The lack of gyro is a pain. I found the shape of the reciever a little difficult, at least with the old flysky Rx you could take out of box and bend the pins for lower profile. But I still like the radio.

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, off course. Feel free to link videos. I'm looking forward to see it with Mini-Z EVO.

Hey just wanted to say great video l bought this about 4 months ago love it . A word of caution though do not use the wheel to change from left handed to right handed. My wheel broke off its plastic underneath the wheel had to apply it back on .

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, exactly. Thanks for the warning as well because I forgot to put that in the review. I'm not sure if it came across in the camera but I grab either the arm the metal plate behind the wheel to adjust its position.

There's now a bunch of small afhds3 receiver available (FTR4 which can be decased and GMR), but still no gyro receivers as of 2020.

[@BeaversHobby]

They said it's in development.

[@MrJob91]

afhds2a is a great protocol. No backwards compatibility is a huge deal breaker for me

[@BeaversHobby]

Presumably this is a new chip. It's faster than AFHDS2A too. But yes, if you already have a bunch of 2A receivers then it's a bad investment to overhaul your fleet. I actually switch to this radio because if I had upgraded my RC3S to RC4GS I'd have to replace the receiver for my entire fleet anyway. If RC4GS works with my existing R4F I wouldn't have gotten this NB4.

[@MrJob91]

@@BeaversHobby I drive my mini-z with a walkera devo 7E modded with 2 extra chips. This multi module function enables me to fly quads drive cars and toys with a more professional programmable transmitter for the low cost of about 60 euro. I did my conversion 4 years ago and it still works.

[@BeaversHobby]

@@MrJob91 I got multiprotocol hooked up to my older RC3S too because that one is too old and doesn't support new receivers anymore. Which Mini-Z do you have? The Sports FHS or the new one with FHSS? I also drive my FHS with multiprotocol but I can't seem to find anything that compatible with FHSS. Even the iT4S which is the sister radio of KT432PT doesn't work.

[@MrJob91]

@@BeaversHobby I have the AFHDS Sports 2 version. very inferior board compared to the older versions especially the fets dont allow any upgrading of the motor. as for FHSS i believe the CC2500 chip is not able to do that protocol. These new systems are geared towards keeping out modders more than anything.

[@vaamorais]

Hi again. Ended purchasing this radio. Very good value for money and was very surprised with the quality. I am experiencing a problem some you might know the solution. This happens frequently, like 1 in 3. When I turn off the receiver (Flysky FGR8B, 8 channel) the radio turns itself off and I am not able to turn it back on sometimes for more than a day. I am running latest update. Apart from this when I am to turn it on, everything works fine. Any idea what this might be? Thanks

[@BeaversHobby]

I have not experienced that problem. However I can think of something like the battery and powerbank on the base. Maybe you can check if it can run with only the internal battery without the base to check if the battery is still OK. Also if the battery in the base has worn out.

[@dudycemed790]

I like this radio, simple compact design. If this noble is better then sanwa, I'll consider to buy it. What I use now is Radiolink Rc6gs, it's still quite good radio.

[@BeaversHobby]

Having never own a Sanwa but I study all the manuals I think it's on par with Sanwa in terms of usability and adjustability. But if you want lowest latency then Sanwa is the best right now.

[@lektro808]

Great video! Do you think this transmitter will benefit an MA020 AWD? Unfortunately I have not local tracks so I’m just using casually. Not a fan of the KT531P and wanted to upgrade.

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, it will. You will have more adjustability with this transmitter. It's also a bit faster than the KT531P as well. Don't forget to buy the RM-005 module and upgrade the firmware as well. Here's how. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqW1mGOieqZ8m9U

Excellent review. Flysky STILL has not released a receiver with gyro for AFHDS3. It's the only thing keeping me from buying it, because I certainly love my FS-GT3C

[@BeaversHobby]

They still haven't sell it, not sure if it's still in the pipeline either because they've been really quiet lately. Still, the gyro has to be fantastic for us to ditch an external unit for it especially for RWD drift.

[@GustavoMauricio]

How should I bind the receiver so that the car in memory 1 does not work if the radio is in memory 2? (Noble NB4 2.0.93 and Dasmikro receiver updated)

[@BeaversHobby]

In 2-way mode it locks 1 receiver to 1 memory. If you change the memory model you'll have to re-bind it. You can bind different receivers to 1 memory in 1-way mode. That's as far as I've tested.

[@calv83]

Thanks for this video, I actually just received mine today, just a nice feel on the hand vs the Kyosho KT-432PT. I’m not sire if they made some changes, maybe there’s a I’m in a newer firmware, the battery indicators are on both the battery and the radio and flashes per block. So when both are solid green, it’s completely charged.

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, that's a newer firmware.

[@lee5403]

Thanks for the great review, just one question on receiver built-in gyro. I am using Radiolink RC6GS on my mini RWD drift car and seems the Gyro does not work very well. Just ordered a separate gyro and will test it out . Just wondering your thoughts on gyro for mini car drifting, is receiver built-in gyro is worse off than external gyro unit and why? Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@BeaversHobby]

A built-in unit is more than enough for AWD drift and touring but for RWD drift, it'll work but not as well as an external. It is usually worse than an external unit as it doesn't have the finesse, resolution and response of an external dedicated gyro. As for why, I can only guess that external gyro has dedicated hardware and software to deal with the inertia and vibration better.

[@stevesweet5013]

Hi there. Great review... Very informative! I was considering getting this as I need a transmitter I can use with ONLY my right hand. I thought this might work (although it's really too expensive and sophisticated for my needs... I'm just getting my first proper RC car), but having seen your video, i think even when this is set up with the wheel on the other side, the wheel is too far out for comfortable thumb operation. Can you suggest any other transmitters that might work better for me? The only feature I really need, aside from the basics, is a throttle limiter as I want my son to be able to use it, too. Any tips gratefully received! Thanks

[@BeaversHobby]

There're not many radios that you can swap the side of the wheel and they are all above 150 USD like some Futaba and Spektrum DX6R. So I'm afraid you'll have to learn to operate it with left hand if you want one handed. I can turn the Noble's wheel back to the point that you can move it pretty comfortably with my thumb but that really depends on the physique so I can't guarantee it'd work in your hand. A good radio to start is Radiolink RC4GS. bit.ly/2WSjb0G It has everything you'll ever need and it has screen so you can adjust everything quickly and precisely.

[@jc51373]

great review...Do you know if Gyro can be added to this protocol ?

[@BeaversHobby]

Gyro is a separated unit so it'll work no matter what the transmitter you have. Check out this one, it's the best one I've ever used and I use it with this radio as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip7blIeNjLBgqLc

[@jerrycheng5409]

Great review and transmitter looks great. Would like to get one. Does any receiver which is under $15 could work with FS-NB4 ? try to figure out the cheapest receiver solution for it. Thanks

Unfortunately there aren't any cheap receiver for NB4 yet. This is their new top of the line with rapid response so even the stuff from DasMikro still costs 30+ USD.

how long to external battery fully charged? My external battery is always blinking at right position when i charged for 4-5 hr. I think 4-5 hours is must fully charged now.

[@BeaversHobby]

I mostly see about 3-4 hours. The top will blink constantly. You will need to look at the base (and it doesn't show clearly either). How to tell it's full is that the light bar is divided into 3 sections. It will lit up all of them in series and none of them continue to blink. That's when the battery is full. For example if it lights up 1-2 and 3 on the blink a few times then it's not full yet. If it lights up 1-2-3, goes out and repeat 1-2-3 again then it's full.

If it's EVO series that you can change the receiver then yes, you can use it directly. Otherwise you'll have to convert it to standard RC components by installing servo board (converting 5-wire servo to 3-wire), ESC and then GMR receiver.

I am looking at getting into mini drift cars. Can gyro be installed on any mini-z, atomicRC, or gl racing? Can this radio support gyro or do only some radios?

[@BeaversHobby]

Yes, you can. All newer Mini-Z support gyro including EVO series (which works with this transmitter). But it needs its own gyro unit, not the one you normally use in drift car. www.rcmart.com/kyosho-mzw405-gyro-unit-mr03-p-74189.html?cPath=595_736_1670 You can also install gyro in Atomic/GL too since they are just standard RC with different plug. For example here's a big one and it fits in Atomic DRZ, I've done it. www.rcmart.com/aluminum-high-stability-gyro-drift-touring-offroadcol-blue-p-66379.html?cPath=616 Here's the video that I use this big gyro in DRZ. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV7XeJV5fKqjpqM This is small one with micro plug ready to go in Atomic and GL. www.ebay.com/itm/3944MINI-BL-SP-MINI-GYRO-AL-Case-BL/254103498512 FlySky Noble NB4 can control gyro gain via channel 3 or 4, just assign a dial to the channel you connect the gyro to, usually we connect it to channel 3 so the wires are tidy. Actually if you install gyro unit on a car, you don't necessary need a dial from the transmitter because you can adjust it from the dial on gyro itself. Connecting gyro to channel 3 only adds a bit of convenience. The way it works is it reads position signal on the transmitter and translates that signal into gyro gain. So any transmitter with dial or VR knob can remotely control gyro gain (oif the unit has that feature, of course). Sorry for long answer. Feel free to ask if you want further clarification.

Also with new firmware it's even better with more button mapping and adjustments like 3 position switch and of course, 8 channels. I have modded GT3C as well and that generation of radio is very hard to use. I'd say get Noble if you can afford it along with the receivers, it's a good investment. But if you got a lot of cars, receiver cost might pile up a lot since it doesn't support old receivers so you should consider that too. If you budget is restricted, GT5 is also good.

This should sort out your not detecting centre problem.

Yes it's the higher level from flysky. Like dsm2 protocol have there own memory for each receiver. Great display, can they make a phone call 😄😄😄😄

I really hate the movement to use color displays on transmitters, choosing appeal against usability, everything else looks great though.

Apparently they have never thought we'd use it outside in the sun.

will it work with any flysky receiver? thank you

[@BeaversHobby]

No, only the AFHDS3 series will work with this radio. So you can only use receivers for Noble and Paladin.

now im torn between sanwa mt-44 and this radio, any advice?

[@BeaversHobby]

This is a better radio. Sanwa has more street cred though. The other factor to consider is how well you look after your stuff and how much do you need after sale service. If there's Sanwa service centre in your area then get the Sanwa in case you have to fix it. If anything happens to Noble you might have to send it back for service.

You can use it with anything providing it uses 3 wire system like a standard RC. You'll have to use the provided receiver though, not binding it to the original receiver directly.

You can install a dedicated gyro like this www.rcmart.com/aluminum-case-high-stability-gyro-drift-touring-offroad-p-64501.html?cPath=616 and control gain from an unused channel like 3 or 4.

[@BeaversHobby]

Where are you having problem with? Maybe I can help. For me it's pretty much plug and play just like my other radios. Are you sure yours work properly? If it's too much of a trouble then you should RMA it.

[@DanielCollins85]

@@BeaversHobby I have the TRX4, it's my first RC car. I bought the 2255 Servo for it and wanted to increase the voltage to it. Hence I bought the NB4 to do that. After binding I hook it up and my front wheels don't turn but the servo near the ESC does when I turn the controller wheel. I just feel so overwhelmed, I am completely lost.

[@BeaversHobby]

​@@DanielCollins85 So I went and download the TRX4's manual, it has 2 speed gear box and remotely locking differentials which honestly will be difficult to setup for any aftermarket transmitter as all of these 3 extra servos will need specific position command from the transmitter. But don't be discouraged. Let's make it simple first. You can use only 2 channels to drive the car. Steering servo connects to channel 1, this is where you have to check which servo is connected to. Because right now I think you connect the servo from gearbox instead of steering to channel 1. Then ESC connects to channel 2. Try these 2 channels first. Once you get both of them working then move on to setup other channels. I presume the servo near the ESC is the one that controls gearbox. Plug gearbox servo in to channel 3. Then assign a button or dial to control it. Next you have to set the EPA and steps of each click so it shifts the gear correctly. The last thing is locking differential. Since out of the box, the receiver has 4 channels and this car needs 5 to control all the diffs. If you can drive without this function it'll be easy. Otherwise you'll have to get a channel expansion module and setup channel 4 and 5 with mixing. This all sounds really complicated and to be honest I've never had a crawler. This is all what I can see from the manual. So you can find the information and help from a RC or crawler forums like rctech.net . They should be able to help you better than I do.

[@DanielCollins85]

@@BeaversHobby Wow, incredibly informative. I will work on this. Thank you so much. I assumed the servo from my 2250 went to the Servo option on the receiver. Shows what I know.
