The noble radio is definitely one of those top-notch high performance RC transmitters that has so much functionality that someone like me would almost be afraid to have it in their hands with the fears of dropping it 😜👍💯
Flysky is a good brand. I've had my 6 channel for almost 10 years and it is still kicking. Also has insane range we checked it in an open corn field and got nearly a mile range.
I started with the NB4, bought a second one as I was over 20 cars. Then I switched to one NB4+ because I want to test it and as result: I love it. The screen is so much better then the original. As the PRO+ hit the market I switched again because of my crawlers, 8 channel is to less. Now I'm 100% satisfied for half of the Futaba price. As a hint, use NB4 trasmitter only with Flysky enhanced receivers. They cost only a few bucks more but you get the ibus-2 protocol and a free voltage monitoring cable for the lipo. My prefered receiver is the INr4-GYB with integraded gyro. If you don't need a gyro use FGr4B. More channels? use FGr8B or FGr12B. If you like built-in antennas then the new FRD4D. The radiomaster MT12 should be a good trasmitter with very cheap receiver but you need a course of studies, not my way.
I absolutely love mine. Been club racing my teknos with it all summer. I've dropped it twice on concrete by accident and it didn't break. Just scuffed it a little. Ended up buying a protective aluminum shell. You guys should offer those! They also look sick on the radio.
€300 isn't that cheap bare with no receiver, several other radios get the same functions and more channels for under 100. 75 bucks for DDF-350 with a 10channel receiver.
Love my Flysky NB4+!! So many functions, feels go in the hand, low price with high price quality. The FS-GT5 is also good for an even more budget value.
Super awesome you use the metric system instead of that old imperial crap most outside the US can't relate to. Especially considering you are a US based company. Keep it up.
I bought one of their $90 touchscreen transmitter called FS-G7P that I use for my drift car and for its price it’s freakin amazing! FlySky is really stepping up their game with great transmitter. I might just get this Noble NB4 for the next drift car I may built soon.
I have an nb4 and I absolutely love it!Super premium feel compared to my friends dx6 and radio master ones. The response time is amazing! No lag like other transmitters. Hard to explain but, it makes slow servos super twitchy (fast) Plus, I only paid $175 for mine with 2 receivers cables and all brand new (aliexpress) my friends were sure hating! They sold their transmitters and ended up getting the NB4 as well. Definitely might upgrade but, at max I use 4 channels. Totally beats the new Spektrum in quality and price! Definitely look into them, you won’t regret it guys!!
I need a new system for my 1/10 and also just got into mini z and was looking at these the other day. Thought I was sold then, but I am for sure sold on it now.
Have a spektrum DX6r. That is junk and crashes OVER AND OVER send it in 3 times and they will not honer replacing or fixing for good . I GOT THE NB4pro+ and never looking back. THANKS FOR THE GREAT PRODUCT
Futaba and Airtronics/Sanwa for me only. Maybe if I still raced competitively I’d try it. Plus I get months of battery life on my Futaba with weekly use.
Next time you see one pick it up and play with it, you’ll think those other brands are cheap nasty kids toys, and the price! Literally half the cost of the other brands, pretty much a no brainer now.
What about the radio master mt12 60 model memory. Elrs for super long range or the 4in1 version so you can bind to almost any receiver. I’ve had mine since it came out and I love it. Best transmitter ever especially because it’s only $150 also up to 32 channels
spektrums came out after the noble was released, like way after, spectrum just wanted a transmitter to compete with the noble and 10px from futaba, which is miles better than the spectrum
I ran the FlySky IT4, which was this transmitter’s touchscreen predecessor. The IT4 was a great transmitter, but the receivers were hit and miss with some being super glitchy. I imagine FlySky has completely fixed this RX issue or else Maifield and Ronnefalk would’ve stayed far away.
Also, the programmable nitro engine throttle bump was one of the most useful features when I ran this TX. I’d increase the throttle 10-15% by simply pressing the assigned button while starting and idling/warming up. Super useful feature!
Is there a way to limit max charge for both batteries? For most people I suspect 10 hours just isn't nessasry. If I could limit it to a min charge off 30% and Max of 80% that would be amazing. Not sure if you have a way to provide feedback, but that would be mine.
Would this transmitter be a suitable replacement for SLT3 transmitter that came with my Arrma Typhon 6S TLR? I'm not impressed whatesoever with the SLT3.
Amain Hohobbies, You haven't even checked out the Radiomaster MT12. can you PLEASE do a review on it? you're the only rc channel to not have a review of that transmitter.
Why dont they make this in a 2 channel version, take out the stuff not needed and sell it for around $200? This is nice, but way overkill for a simple rc car.
This is a winner! Covers it all in my opinion. I have always liked the Flysky stuff. It looks like it would be a good powerbank for charging your phone too! Looks very user friendly. I hate my 4pm it is more complicated than it should be. I like the attention to detail on this where it even has a brake rotor and caliper
I cant deal with the thick grip the m17 has the perfect ergonomics for me and also weight distribution is wack. With the power bank its bottom heavy without top. And the old one had a unusable display in sunlight the new one should be better and i heard they fixed the center deadband problem...
Doesn't make any creak sounds when you mess with it. I had to laugh about that one. Reminds me or my Airtronics M11. Creaked like the dashboard of a 20-year old Toyota.
My dude, yours must be really worn in or got unlucky cuz out the box mine was creak free. Also have u handled a futaba or Sanwa before. That’s what you would call creaky. The feel like Walmart toys in comparison.
To navigate the menus, I think you'll need to use the touchscreen. It may be possible to use the buttons, but i'm not familiar with that function. -Brett
Thanks for this video... been out of the game a while now, and looking to update my tx... Can't help but feel you shoulda familiarised yourself a little more before doing the video tho lol
I'm on my third on (Long Story)(I have the NB4 Pro setup), and if I ever have to get another high end transmitter I'd get another. I absolutely love mine. Little bit of trivia, but if you connect the USB output to your gaming laptop, the controller becomes an active gaming controller. Playing Need for Speed with my RC transmitter was a crazy experience.
VR dial? I'm not sure which dials you're referring to. The handle has two dials that are spin continuously, each programmable to their own channels, and then there is a third dial that has limited spinning, also capable of being programmed to it's own channel. Every dial or switch can be programmed to its own channel. -Brett
@AMain_Hobbies the 2 at the top of the handle, that don't spin all the way around, one on each side, looking for a radio that will allow me to set one for pan and set the other for tilt independently... I've got a 6 ch radio link TX it only has one vr dial I've set to pan but can only set my tilt ch like a switch... either up, down, or middle on the servo. If I try to set it both to the vr they both both move together...
I picked up the Pro plus model and there’s so much you can do with the transmitter that I hope there will be some people starting to make videos about how to use everything it has to offer. Even though I’m still trying to figure out how to use it I’m really liking it.
…Radiomaster MT12 with its incredible open source protocol Expess LRS (ELRS) AND Crossfire (CRSF) with unbeaten speed and range (yes, its true!) with open source operating system programming EdgeTX or OpenTX and a worldwide huge friendly community and future proof technology in eternal development and have a module system for total covering of every protocol there is and at fraction of the cost of the old dated brands…
@@michaelkrammRCright, because the insanity that is the touch interface on this radio is so much better… If you don’t understand how to use opentx’s interface, it’s because you haven’t tried. It’s easier than 90% of 20 yr old interfaces other surface brands still peddle for $400+
In 2-channel mode , it is very fast. I do not know the exact latency, but world champion racers use the transmitter, and if it was not fast enough, they would not use it. -Brett
One click down on channel speed makes way too much of a change. 0.1s. Should be a smaller impact per click, maybe .05. Tried to help a racer that uses one of these and it was either servo too fast for him or way too slow. He had to settle for too fast.
299? daaaang..... I'll hold on to my Radiomaster MT12 with 4in1 and ELRS for only 120 after discounts, i could also get 10 more receivers and not break 250 dollars
@@michaelkrammRC it took me only a week to figure out the transmitter and setup my 4ws crawler. for me the learning curve is worth learning given that the MT12's receivers especially the ELRS version are less than 15 dollars a piece.
I have the old crystal transmitter and receivers, I use them in my old rc cars because I’m too cheap to buy more transmitters and receivers Edit: they are futaba ones
Its very interesting that flysky is the go to radio for surface vehicles, flysky tried to enter the fpv and aircraft market and they failed miserably. I still think they are trash, but when something just rolls to a stop versus falling out of the sky....i guess flysky is good enough. I'm glad they found their place in the hobby.
THIS is why I still rock FlySky since 2016.

3:30 the 18650 gets used first before the battery bank. And you can press the button on the battery bank to charge the 18650.
