The V1 receivers could be flakey. The V2s are rock solid.

I see. My two v1 works just swell. Lucky me I guess

I had runaways with V1 FGr4 receivers and one of my V1 FGr4S receivers died. I only run V2 FGr4S receivers now and haven't had any problems in the past 2 years.

Thank you you saved my ass at jbrl this weekend left it charging and it worked not boot before my open E truggy a main, freaked out, but held the reset and power and she booted up, not confidence inspiring, but had my sanwa radios decide to not turn on before as well, so still happy with my NB4

Hi guys,


I purchased a brand new Flysky Noble NB4 in AliExpress and received it today. The idea is to use it in combination with a RM-005 module to control my stock Mini Zs.


I won't receive the RM-005 module at least for another week so I tried to test it playing VCR Pro (connecting the new transmitter to my PC via USB). However, neither the steering wheel nor the throttle trigger are working; they are stuck at 10% and -100%. All the rest of the buttons except for VR1 are working fine.


I upgraded the firmware to the 2.0.99 version and then downgraded to 2.0.93 with identical result.


I'm pretty new in the R/C world and this is the first transmitter I bought (so far I've been using the stock ones that come with the Mini Zs). Am I missing something?


Thanks for your help!

How old is your radio and what firmware are you running? I just bought one of these and was planning on using it this weekend.

Did you calibrate it?

Yes, I tried. But when I get to the Axis Calibration screen the X and Y values don't change when I move the wheel or the trigger. The X Axis fluctuates a little bit (one up, one down) even if I leave the transmitter still.

When I turn on the transmitter, even without connecting to the computer, the values for channel 1 and 2 are:

• Channel 1: Fluctuates between 10% and 11%
• Channel 2: Stable at -100%.

Can’t believe it’s not compatible with the previous Rxs, I have 8 of those.

There was a time I also wished the NB4 was compatible with the previous AFHDS-2A protocol even if the radio cost was a tad higher. To be honest though, I've since changed my mind: 1) Flysky has been incredible with firmware/feature updates not typically seen on the surface side radios, whereas most other brands reserve updates for the next iteration of their radio. This has made me forget about those older RX as I'm happy with the performance of the current protocol. Some might argue that Spektrum has released countless updates for the DX6R which is 100% true but they conveniently forget to explain why, particularly, when Spektrum never did that before to any of their surface radios before the DX6R. Not shockingly, Spektrum rushed the release of the DX6R (or as I call it, a consumer beta unit) and it had suffered from countless issues that made the radio unpleasant to use so they had to release updates.
2-The older AFHDS-2A RX where honestly cheaply built. Ask some 1/5th scaler or nitro head that that used a GT3B/C and you're bound to hear how the RX failed from vibrations which is not common with better built rx, in some cases causing a disaster. It simply isn't good to have someone using a $200 radio with a $6 RX that's a ticking time bomb.

I haven't had any of the latency issues you mentioned on my Turnigy GTX3(Gt3b clone) but very informative review/info.

I absolutely LOVE the look of the NB4. I was thinking it would be my first real mid range transmitter but there wasn't very many real reviews. All I could find was people saying don't get it because nothing FlySky is worth over $60.

You really got me thinking again, and I feel like I might end up with one when I get my Tekno MT410.

was hoping the RM005 would work with older AFSHD, since the IT4 would work with MZ FHSS. The Rx accepted the RF update, but wouldn't bind. Not sure what my fascination with getting ancient RXs to worth the NB4 was about. lol.

I love my noble 4 .. it feels similar to my m12s but it's way user friendly my 8 yr has 1 to and loves it he had a m12 and definitely got faster


Flysky came through on this 1💯💥

Has anyone been having battery life issues? I've had my NB4 for two years now, and battery life used to be great. I could go several race weekends without charging it at all. Lately it's gotten really bad. Today I charged the handle up to 90% and the base to 75%. After less than an hour of use at the track the base was completely dead and the handle was at 50%. I'm running the latest .99 firmware.

There's a new pro version coming soon.

I think I might have just not charged my radio all the way. The LEDs are a little vague on charge level, and it takes a few hours to charge completely.
