thought i read way back in this posting u had to update rx along with radio.or sumethang like that hmmm.

I've been waiting to buy one of these NB4 from the HK US warehouse for awhile now. I doubt I'll see one in stock anytime soon due to the current crisis. My current radio, while wonderful, was dropped and has suffered cosmetic damage and I'm looking to replace it with this one.

Anyone know if these radios are capable of MPH readout via either GPS module or the like? RPM?

The radio went out-of-stock (HK US) the moment I put one in a cart... lol

When was it back in stock? I've been checking everyday for the past 2 months!!
I heard these radios won't be in US warehouses until at least August 2020. Hope that's bad info but at least my cureent radio still works fine so I'll keep using it until then.

It was back in stock a week ago - check post #554 on may 19th.

Couple days ago, I added the radio to cart; however, during checkout, it became out-of-stock; so, someone ordered the last one before me, I guess. You can opt for "alert me" option on the product page.

Post #2 is receivers only. They were sold out quickly. I purchased 2. They were both V2's

Yeah, the radio itself showed "In Stock" too in the US warehouse (Flysky Noble NB4 AFHDS3 Surface Radio w/2 x FGR4S Receivers) - placed 2 in cart but was too slow during checkout (was looking for coupons/reward points).

I was finally able to order this radio! It's on it's way but I already downloaded the latest firmware and the beta app. Took me a minute to figure out how to change the apps language to english, looking forward to learning how to use it once the radio is in hand. I've owned many radios including a Futaba 3PMX, 4PX and 7PX as well as my current favorite, Hitec Lynx 4S. Hope this radio lives up to the hype, I currently own a hacked GT3B and I really like it minus the fact it offers no telemetry and the menu is quirky especially if you don't use the radio a lot.

You will love the NB4. I just got mine and it’s awesome. I’ve always been a Futaba guy and this thing feels great in hand and is extremely fast. You shouldn’t need to upgrade the firmware mine came wit the latest firmware already installed. Good luck with it.

Just fyi, I updated the firmware with the latest that came out last week, I did not lose my models. But now I can't seem to link with the backup software.

The release notes for 2.0.85 for those interested.

New Features:
• None

Changes:
• Fix the bug that caused channel data to be abnormal after switching models
• Remove the USB function menu under the system settings menu (simulator function starts automatically)
• Fix the bug that caused the battery icon to show a small black dot when charging
• Fix the bug that caused the steering/throttle curve display to be incomplete
• Fix interference issue when SW1-L / SW1-R / SW2 / SW3 buttons are pressed simultaneously
• Fix the problem caused by pressing the trim buttons simultaneously

• Upgrading versions before 2.0.83 will clear the model data, and versions after 2.0.83 (including 2.0.83) will not clear the data
• After the update is completed, it is necessary to rebind the receiver to the transmitter

• The firmware upgrade this time includes two versions - the FCC high-power version and the standard version. The power of the high-power version is 4dBm larger than that of the standard version. The remote control distance is several tens of meters longer, and the power consumption is higher by about 1/20 (there may be differences in different use environments), but the return distance of the receiver is the same for both versions. After the above steps are completed, the product can be used normally.

Where did you order the radio?
I could only find one here (higher price) - https://www.kyoshoamerica.com/82151m...vo-rx-x2-.html

I ended up ordering from the linked webpage below. They are running a promotion using code HH15POFF which takes 15% off all orders, I found this info on another site, no affiliation. Looks like I wasn't the only one that bought one from what I saw in that other site.
They do charge for shipping and I ended up going for the 7-14 day shipping, with the discount, you end up paying around $183ish so you're definitely not over paying like with the few options available.

When I ordered, there were 5 in stock, now down to 1.

Just in case the link doesn't work since I have a low post count, the webpage is hobby mate hobby . Com....all one word.

EDIT- That Noble on the Kyosho site includes 2 mini Z specific RX which may be a good deal for those in that class. That wouldn't work for me personally though as I don't own a MiniZ.

Finally got a break in the budget to buy the noble.

Upgrading from the IT4. So far I love it and already have a skin on order. The skin is from china so it will take a while but oh well. The T-Works one in black.

Question though. Ive looked through this thread and cant find a concrete answer. What receiver works best? Asiatees has all three in stock and I cant see much of a difference. The FGR4S looks nice and small but how its reception. It would go in 8th off road at biggest. The FGR4P looks like a better version of the S? Any help on which ones to get would be great.

I have used both the FGR4 and the FGR4S for 8th scale off road, nitro and electric. Even on larger tracks I never had issues with signal while using either receiver.
