About this deal

The Noble NB4 has a compact design compared to general transmitters, but by rotating the wheel mount, storage is further improved and portability is greatly improved. The most unique mechanism of Noble NB4 is that you can rotate the wheel mount 180°. This eliminates the need for additional parts or dis-assembly when used by left-handed people. Hi, I know this is an older article, but for those doing research for a fix, I’ve had problem, mentioned in the article, with the motors going 100% full throttle as soon as I armed, with two different quads, I was really stumped for a couple days on the build. This fix I found on a Github forum, apparently there were quite a few people having it.

Before we get into the functions, lets have a closer look at the hardware. In case you didn't watch the video I can say if it is silver, it is metal - except for the steering wheel which is plastic. At around 640g all up with the onboard battery plus the clip on lipo base battery it feels sturdy and premium. The most eye catching piece as far the hardware goes is the way the steering works. It's essentially on a rotating arm the goes around 180 degrees to suit either a left or right handed driver. You can stop anywhere in between as well to get the most comfortable position. This is the same as on the regular noble NB4 but this time the mechanism feels more sturdy. The trainer port has been moved to a more convenient location on the bottom of the TX, and next to it you will find the addition of a micro USB, for simulators and firmware updates, which was a good move in my opinion. So I have been looking for a new transmitter for a while. I wanted something 'Nice' that I could use for all my models, RX's were cheap and easy to get and, I will freely admit, I am a massive tech nerd and a bit of a geek when it comes to anything 'techy' (Yes, I have a man cave with lots of consoles, gaming figures and Star Wars stuff - but NO. I'm not a 45 year old man living in my mothers basement).

Specifications

AFHDS 2A is the 2nd generation of the system that added 2-way communication capability and allows for telemetry. Flysky RX Protocols The box is REALLY nice. Well made too and aluminium with a carbon fibre effect printed over it. Very sturdy but lightweight and does not wobble around or anything. The FS-i10 is the top of the range offering from FlySky and provides 10 native channels with all the (5) knobs and (7) switches to make full use of them all. Like the i8, the i10 also utilizes a rechargeable LiPo battery and a USB port for charging, connectivity for sims and trainer functions. The older models in the FlySky RX range are prefaced with the letters ‘ iA‘ and are relatively large and heavy, weighing between 15 and 20 grams! As keeping weight down is critical in a mini quad, I have excluded the bulky options to focus on these lighter weight solutions. NB4 Pro - amazing + some bonus bits if a little pricier. Twice the price for a few extra functions, some TX jewellery, carry case and extra setup bits? I’m on the fence still.

Borrowing heavily from the design of the i10, the FS-i8 isn’t the best looking TX available, (some will say that’s a gross understatement) but that can be put, in-part, down to the large TFT colour touch-screen. The Palatin is the latest offering in the Flysky premium lineup. It has many of the new features in the Nirvana but in a much more traditional style shell. It also supports the latest AFHDS 3 air protocol. Flysky's "Noble NB4" is a 2.4GHz high-end transmitter that is perfect for stepping up from the middle range model and the transmitter for beginners that comes with the Readyset. In addition to the high performance required of high-end R/C systems, the Noble NB4's main feature is a feature that is full of originality. One of them is the adoption of a full-color touch panel display that controls all functions and settings. A wide variety of menus including endpoint adjust, exponential, ABS, and model memory (for 20 cars) can be operated like a smartphone. In addition, since the various setting screens have a graphical design, anyone can change the settings intuitively and easily. Another innovative idea is the wheel mount that rotates 180°, which can be changed to left-handed specifications without changing any parts. In addition, a detachable external battery that can also be used as a mobile battery, dual power supplies with external battery and a built-in battery, two Mini-Z EVO chassis receivers are included, and features and equipment all in one. In addition to the performance advantage, the Noble NB4 is made up of hardware that makes it fun to use the transmitter itself. The NB4 is equipped with 2 batteries, one in the handle and one removable power bank in the base. The base will charge the battery in the handle when connected and when disconnected the power bank can be used to charge other devices using it’s USB output.

The FlySky FS-NB4 Noble is FlySky newest, fastest, and most stylish ground transmitter to date. Not only does it look great with its new sleek design and metal finish, but it also features new flexibility and functionality never seen before in the RC world.

The Turnigy iA6C is an AFHDS2A radio receiver with dual antennas. It’s light weight and supports all both serial RX protocols making it a great option for mini quad. While the weight of this RX aims towards micro <100mm models, the length of the supplied IPEX antenna is a bit long to be ideal for this application. Thanks to Loopyroberts for his comment below confirming that the i10 does support the original AFHDS system, so you will be able to bind with older FlySky RX. The FCC high power firmware with a more reliable new RF library makes Noble Pro's range increased by 50 m* compared to NB4 (standard firmware).

Flagship Products

The upgraded version of the RX2A with longer range. It features better antennas with IPEX connectors so you can easily replace them. Failsafe is available with iBus. The FS-RX2A, can be considered an updated A8S and is one of the smallest RX made by FlySky at the moment. It weighs in at 1g, and measures only 12mm x 15mm to gift the market with a true micro FlySky RX. The The Turnigy Evo is not a Flysky TX, but we’d like to include it in this list because it uses the same TX protocol as Flysky TX’s, and it’s compatible with Flysky’s RX as well. As you can see, when using a FlySky RX there can be some sacrifices that must be made to ensure you have an operational failsafe. Failsafe is probably not as critical to an indoor model or a micro that you use in the garden, but it is far more important than telemetry. For some reason the most suitable RX FlySky make for larger models (the FS-X6B) only provides a failsafe on the older PWM protocol, which is nonsensical in my view. Note: Micro RX often do not support PWM due to their limited physical size to provide sufficient space for the necessary solder pads. FlySky TX models For Mini Quad

Noble Pro will let you control whatever they are, for example, gears, overhead lights, wipers, seat adjustment, steering wheel rotation, hood switch as long as you need. The version 2 of the A8S has been released, which has fixed this problem, but there is still talk of “full throttle brownouts” where RX channels might behave randomly when throttle hits 100% (I will test this and update this info soon). Another compact and light weight receiver option and with AFHDS2 protocol support. No telemetry, but supports both PPM and iBUS protocols. Compatible with popular radios such as the Turnigy Evolution, FlySky i6S. It also supports failsafe in iBUS.

RX2A specs claim the longest range on this list, but considering the simplicity of the monopole antenna, fly out this distance at your peril! TheFLYSKY Noble NB4 AFHDS 3 Surface Radio is the fastest and most stylish surface transmitter to date. Not only does it look great with its new sleek design and metal finish, but it also features new flexibility and functionality never seen before in the RC world. Excellent addition for car and boat users.
