Just a quick update on my Noble. It's been going strong for about a year. I did the first review on Amazon about the steering wheel breaking off and also included the fix for it. No issues with range and I'm using the V1 versions of the receivers. Battery life is amazing, but it should be because it has that backup one on the base. Not sure if I want to update mine though since it's not doing the resetting thing. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
I have 2, mine and my son's. We have also had them about a year. The breaking off steering wheel thing was always a non issue imo.
