Flysky noble nb4

[joostin420]

Picked up a flysky noble nb4 to try out sometime

 

[Lazy Bushman]

Nice. Let us know your thoughts after running it a few times

Looks interesting. I must say I enjoy my GT5. Much better than I gave it credit for base on the price.

Enjoy yours!

I waited for 2 months to get my Noble from China, got lost in the mail, sent replacement, wait wait wait. But eventually I ended up with 2. And they are great, love them. Been using an IT4s for years, and it's like a great update from that. Software seems about the same, minor things like buttons replacing scroll wheel like things, and it talks now, but the build of the thing, it feels really great in the hand, rather than the really light plastic feel of the IT4

Very interested to see how you like it.. what would you compare it too..??

Build quality, Range, Specs, etc..???

Personally, I don't have much experience with different types of radios. I have used a lot of RTRs, Traxxas, dromida, redcat, losi... And several flysky's, FS-GT2, FS-GT3B, IT4, IT4S, and now the Noble. Out of all those options, it's most like the IT4(s), same firmware (though updated), and built with a lot of aluminum rather than plastic (which is really nice).

Range, has never been something I have personally worried about. I mean, if you can get to the other side of a track without loosing connection, isn't that good enough? lol

Just seems like even the most basic of RTR radios I have used I can drive far enough away I can barely see the car (and that's too far IMO).

Just a couple things to look out for in the future for this radio.

1. There is some sort of bluetooth module being developed. What could it do? I don't know! If I had to make a guess, something like what the traxxas TQi bluetooth stuff does... Which, this radio already pretty much does with its built in screen and software... So, I don't have a clue, but Im intrigued.

My assumption, this module is going to plug in here, this empty slot in the handle, that has no other apparent use.

2. There is a "sport mode" mentioned on flysky's site that is no where to be found in the settings. My assumption on this, will be a way to switch back and forth from 1 way and 2 way communications (a shortcut if you will). Which you can do in settings, but from my one single experiment, it requires re-binding.

Ok, Im going to complain about this radio now. The one and only thing I have been able to not like about it, is one of its more distinguishing characteristics, the detachable battery. Its a cool idea, I guess, but I just don't get it. It needs to be attached to charge the battery in the handle. And a more knit picky point (the thing that keeps bothering me), if the external battery isnt attached, you need to lay the radio down on its side, like this.

Which isnt really a bad thing I guess, but its just not my preferred way (more like way Im used to doing really) of sitting a radio down. So I took it upon myself to make a dummy battery, that I can attach, just so I can sit it down upright.

This also seems silly. Im going to be attaching and detaching things from this all the time. Which begs the question... Why is this thing detachable?

My noble after a bit of customizing.

 

[ChiTon]

Looks nice! I’m sure the second one is a burden , care to sell lol.

 

[MrOflam]

Sorry, Its my son's radio now, and its now in the middle of getting a spider-man theme added to it. lol

I've had mine 3 mos. and love it! The battery actually is useful on train rides across the country. I have telemetry coming from China. But for the price?? Very responsive, great range. Simple! Lots of switches. Put all my toys on 1 tx. Much better.

I have had my Noble for about 9-10 months now all my cars are programmed in. Why would you want to keep taking the bottom battery off it automatically charges the one in the unit + you can top up your phone if so wish been out all day no problem. Range never had a problem mind you probably I don't go beyond 100 -120 yards. Maybe some of the top of the range Spectrum and Futaba are much better but at what price.

 

[MrOflam]

I don't take the battery off and on. I have actually only used the battery to upload firmware updates. The battery in the handle easily lasts all day, and I prefer the look and feel (its about 5 oz lighter with out battery) of the radio without the battery.

I found these batteries, that are the same type (they are a tad longer), and they have a built in charging port. So, small a plastic removed and made the rubber grip so it can be peeled back, so I can plug it in. No need for external battery anymore.

Sorry not trying too offend as the saying goes horses for courses you obviously like to change your gear to how you want it and have the skills needed too do it unfortunately I don't when it comes to transmitters

Got the telemetry from the slow boat in and all hooked up. Works perfect!
