I don't believe it's that Hobbymate "has" them...I believe that Hobbymate produces them. From what I've been able to discern, these receivers are NOT made by Flysky...they are made by Hobbymate. Even in checking Amazon & eBay, they show them as 'Hobbymate'.

In your guys’ opinions, where is the best place to buy one from?
Thanks

Did you ever find one? Asiatees and RC Mart sell them and of. Purse there is AliExpress.

There are a lot of places, I'd probably go with WolframRC or something. However, you can even get them through Kyosho and Hobbytown now

So is this a decent club level racing radio or spend more for a sanwa/futaba?

I have a sanwa mt-44 and 10+ receiver and I only use my Nb4 for competition in nitro buggy, nitro Gt and lola..
I took 1st place in buggy, 3rd in Gt and 4rth in lola in 2022 in my country.
I will continue using my NB4 in 2023 also.

nb4 or nb4 pro?

Nb4, not the pro..

A bunch of guys including me run it locally for club racing. Mostly the non Pro version.

i have the nb4 and a m17, laptimes the same. nb4 holds charge longer and easier to navigate. M17 has to go in for service, quality is the same or better with the noble. Speed identical.

I also have both, and I use the Noble with SFR mode enabled. I like the Noble better especially the touch screen and menu. It's soo easy to navigate and change things on the fly. The m17 is a good radio, but the Noble improves on all the things I don't like about my M17.

I have the same issue as mine is on 2.0.85. How do I update to 2.0.100 as the firmware update exe cannot see my NB4? I've restarted my PC with it connected while on, off and every combination in between. The old assistant 1.0 can see my NB4 and backup my models, but the new assistant and firmware updater can't see it? Any ideas please?

Do you have Winrar WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files (rarlab.com) ?? You will need that. If you have Windows 11 and you still are in S mode you won t be able to download software untill you turn off S mode (thats what i had to do)

Follow this install once you do the things mentioned above. Craig is awesome when it comes to FlySky

Thanks for the link, but I'm already past that. That was the first video actually linked on the FlySky downloads page. I'm on windows 10 and have both versions of assistant installed where 1.0 see's my radio, and 3.0 appears not to see my radio currently on FW 2.0.85. The 2.0.100 firmware exe does not see my radio per the image I posted. How do I get the FW update exe to see my radio is connected and turned on?

UPDATE: Had to put my NB4 in Firmware update mode before the FW 2.0.100 update exe could see my NB4 was connected and do the update.

and you are not in S mode correct?
