Flysky FGr8b firmware update and re bind guide after nb4 2.0.93 update.

[@canlou]

Your video is two years old but it sure did help me out. Thank you.

[@WTFRCCars]

Yeh I still get lots of views in the guide vids :)

[@MarkYounger76]

you, Sir - are an absolute life saver. I'm a techie and i couldn't get any of what you showed from the documentation. You make it simple and are a total life saver as said. I dont have the re-bind issue, i just couldn't get the new 8 channel receiver to bind without the update and once you explained how the keep holding once turned on step - plain sailing. Love this kit - only bought it on your recommendation following 4ws tutorial! :-)

[@WTFRCCars]

Glad it helped :) and thanks so much.

[@ShivamSingh-ud5ik]

Works perfectly fine on my Fgr8b in my TRX6 and Defender I've also got FGR4s in my sport and it also works perfect. The update is amazing many great features added.

[@vaamorais]

Hey there. Great video very well explained. I am still having a problem. Here is my setup: Traxxas TRX4 Defender FLYSKY NB4 + FGr8b. I updated the transmitter to the latest firmware and updated receiver as well. The first time I tried to bind it was a success. However when I was trying to assign buttons to channels I realised I only had 4 channels available. Went back and realised the selected model only had 4 channels setup. So made this right and changed it to 8 channels, radio frequency set to AFHDS3 2 way, updated RF, I repeated the RX firmware update with success. I power it off and then back on again on bind mode but it does not bind. I mage an experiment with one of the RX that came with the radio (FGr4S v2), I fitted on the same Traxxas. On the model tab I selected another model, setup with 4 channels. Went on with updating firmware of RX and binding it and it did bind. But switching back to the original setup with the FGr8b, I can't make it work. Maybe I am missing something. I wonder if you have any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thank you.

[@WTFRCCars]

When you switch the Ch to 8ch mode you don't need to re update the fgr8b, I would set the model memory back to 4ch then update the fgr8b just to see if it's a bug set to 8ch, re bind set to 4ch and see if it binds correctly if it does change the model memory to 8ch and re bind :) hopefully that will sort it for you.

[@vaamorais]

@@WTFRCCars That worked, thanks.

[@WTFRCCars]

Happy to help and glad it worked for you :)

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

Could you possibly do a video on four wheel steering and ways to program it on the noble

[@WTFRCCars]

Will do when I get time got a bunch of servos so should be easy to show how it works on the nb4

[@LargeeeScaleLife]

@@WTFRCCars Very much appreciated me and I have watched all of your noble videos today waiting on Mann to come in. Super informative and extremely well filmed I think you might have the best series out there on this radio

[@WTFRCCars]

Thanks :)

[@francescopesce3116]

I ask you who are an expert I have a problem with my FGr8B receiver does not save the binding and every time I turn it on I have to do the binding and then it works I followed your tutorial step by step but nothing

[@WTFRCCars]

If you turn it on without the transmitter being on does the receiver light go into bind mode everytime, if it does I'd say the bind button is stuck down so everytime you power it up it thinks your trying to re bind it worth checking that 1st if you have updated the nb4 and the nb4 radio firmware and updated the fgr8b firmware :)

[@CamaroWarrior]

What did you do to show more than 4ch on that screen?(yours show 7ch) It just shows only 4ch on the bottom normally, cause i want to get an 8ch receiver and want to see all ch showing not just 4ch

[@WTFRCCars]

You need latest firmware installed :)

[@nathancunningham8717]

Sorry dude I have another question about NB4 & FGR8B. Under RX Set then Servo Frequency I set steering to Digital 333hz but for Throttle channel what should I use for a Arrma ESC electric vehicle? Digital, Analog, Custom, etc...? Thanks

[@WTFRCCars]

333hz should work for everything but I have got a few traxxas esc's that have to be as low as 280hz or they won't calibrate

[@nathancunningham8717]

@@WTFRCCars ok so custom 333hz for ESC. What about a channel that will just have a motor fan connected to it, does it matter what it's set to for fans?

[@WTFRCCars]

They don't use the signal pin so won't make any difference :)

[@nathancunningham8717]

@@WTFRCCars shit I didn't even think of that! Thanks again for all the help, much appreciated!

[@WTFRCCars]

No probs 😁

[@roberttruesdell6151]

My fgr8b should be here tomorrow and I update and bind it and see if I have issues.

[@basscrazy4821]

I've just gone back to rc after a year and is got no throttle I updated and rebound but still no throttle any suggestions?

[@WTFRCCars]

I've seen them do this when the batteries are low

[@brettbogue6979]

Once I have the transmitter and receiver updated and bound will I still be able to use my telemetry? I don’t see a specific port for sensors. I appreciate your videos and information!!

[@WTFRCCars]

Yes you can decide what the port does ( a Ch or ibus for sensors )

[@sandman2495]

I can't seem to get my chnl 7 & 8 to work at all regardless of the firmware update

[@WTFRCCars]

Do you have the nb4 set to 6ch mode?

[@sandman2495]

@@WTFRCCars I’m using the Paladine 18 ev

[@WTFRCCars]

The paladin should use the same menu you have to bind as enhanced receiver and set the number of channels you have, on the ev I think your u also have to assign the extra channels

[@sixteenornumber]

Updating the Rx fixed it for me.

[@madde88]

Hi there! I got the same setup for my crawler. A few days now. But since i got this setup, i got a tremble steering and i can not find or figure out what the Problem is mayby u got a Tipp or an idea? Thank you, greetings from Germany.

[@WTFRCCars]

Turn down the servo poll rate to below 300 :)

[@madde88]

@@WTFRCCars i Was in the rx setting, frequency, did it on Custom from 400 down to 50hz, nothing changed 🤔

[@WTFRCCars]

Does the steering servo work at all? And is it in socket 1 on the receiver?

[@herosornothing]

I can't seem to get the receiver in update mode. Only thing that happens is re-binding the receiver option. When I press the update option on the transmitter it says it's up to date. I'd love to get the battery sensor to display on the transmitter. Any ideas?

[@WTFRCCars]

your nb4 needs to be on firmware 2.0.93 then holld the bind button down as you power up the fgr8b and keep it held until it enters update mode, the select update on the nb4 :)

[@herosornothing]

@@WTFRCCars thanks so much! I was missing a step haha. I got the receiver to update and I love my Noble!!!! Im a complete noob to the RC hobby and your videos really helped me figure out what radio to purchase. I got my receiver in the 2021 Traxxas bronco and works like a dream! Keep up the great work!!!

[@WTFRCCars]

Happy it helped mate, it seems complicated when you 1st do the updates but after you have done a few it gets much easier :)

[@matthewgonzalez2360]

I am looking to buy some of these for my TRX4 and 6. My current NB4 version is (v2.0.100) Do I have to update the Radio to get all 8 channels? Right now I only show 4 channels.

[@WTFRCCars]

Nope but always better to run the latest update

[@matthewgonzalez2360]

@@WTFRCCars Thanks for your fast reply. Does the 8-channel appear only after you bind an 8-channel receiver? I see there is an update FW2.0.101(FCC Version) and FW2.0.101（STD Version. How do you know which one to select?

[@WTFRCCars]

No you have to select 8ch mode before you bind the receiver :)

[@Alexauscelle]

Can i use sbus to control my Lane Boys RC light Controller? Or is it different to frsky or Futaba?

[@WTFRCCars]

Not one I have tested unfortunately

[@Alexauscelle]

Do you know if it possible to bind with ibus2 ch8 to the ESC (Xerun Axe R2) to get the telemetry and connect the light controller to ch2 pwm and get the throttle position?

[@WTFRCCars]

@Alexauscelle I think you would be better to use the esc as Ibus2 on ch2 then set up a ch mix to get the throttle position from any other spear channel

[@Alexauscelle]

Ch2 doesnt support ibus2, so I used ch8 (ch5 - ch8 does) but a mixing is a good Idea, thanks.

[@WTFRCCars]

@Alexauscelle what receiver are you running ?

[@iantuter7765]

I have forced the update by holding the bind button for 10 seconds then getting the 3 flashes of the LED. Once the Transmitter says the update was successful the Receiver just keeps blinking in 3 flash intervals like its still in update mode. Power cycling does nothing. As soon as you power it back on it still is in the three flash mode.

[@WTFRCCars]

Did you update the nb4 radio software after updating the nb4 firmware from the pc? Also set a model memory back to 4ch and bind the fgr8b, once done update the fgr8b, re bind as a 4ch and when bound change the model memory back to 8ch and re bind this should then work :)

[@iantuter7765]

@@WTFRCCars I've updated everything several times. Just followed this video step by step again on another receiver and now it's doing the same thing. Please if you have time see my video. I greatly appreciate any help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaGYYWqLg8p_hdE

[@iantuter7765]

@@WTFRCCars No matter what I do I cannot get the receiver go back into bind mode. From the looks of it several people on the NB4 Facebook group are having the same issue.

[@WTFRCCars]

Once you update the fgr8b you have to then power it down before you re bind it to the nb4 or it will stay in update mode :)

[@WTFRCCars]

You also have to put the receiver in bind mode once you have powered it back up
