Ok, boy do I feel stupid. When I was binding the receivers I wasnt switching the model # on the TX. I figured I could do that later. Wrong ! I was continually binding all three receivers to Model #1. So the last one I bound was the only one that worked. Now I can finally install these puppies and start the model setup process. Stay tuned for more stupidity. Lol. Thanks for the help guys.

Will be getting this rx/tx set tomorrow. Super excited. I read through the entire thread, it wasn't until I've had time to digest it that I've come up with a question. What do I need (specifically) to have the voltage of my 4s lipos relayed to my screen? Lots of good info in here, thanks to the regular posters of this thread!

I have tested the FS-CVT01 voltage module on the FGR4P and it works amazingly well. Just pop it in the sensor port and then edit your home screen to show external voltage. I will say however, the feedback about the 'alaram' or alarm (lol) is dead on. It sounds like the StarTrek Enterprise is being attacked. And, it literally goes off when the radio sees no voltage, which is usually when you've simply turned off the car. I mean, technically its correct (the best kind of correct) but the alarm does go off when it should probably know you're just turning things off or on. Minor complaint really, just preparing you for that. It does seem to operate very well and reads precisely on my dual 6S setup. I'm soldering the connectors into my esc's XT90s, but if you just want an easy way to tap your battery voltage (not sure I'd just use those pins on the voltage sensor), I've used these in my cars, planes and boats for years.

In case anyone else is as annoyed at how easy it is to bump your trims, I whipped up a trim protector: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4794722

I've had my Noble for 2 practice sessions at the track now and aside from the sneers of the brand guys, I really like it. Best radio I've ever used, by far. Sadly, I'm pretty noob-ish when it comes to all the settings available to me now. What they are called, what they do, why they do, etc...Can anyone point me to a crash course on radio settings terminology and what their intended purposes are? Also, I use Tekin RX8 Gen 1 and 2 with hotwire. How far ahead would I be if i set the rx8's to default via hotwire and did all my fiddling with the radio instead?

I have a few questions. I got mine yesterday. I have watched a 100 videos of this controller. Everyone tells you how to attach the base battery. But nobody says how to detach it. Mine is very much stuck on, not that it matters. I prefer to leave it on anyway. But I really don't want to bang on my new radio to get the battery to come off. Another question I have is; I noticed 2 firmware versions. one is the normal one, the other is the FCC version. I went with the FCC version, and don't seem to have any issues driving around my house. But I have a race this weekend, is the FCC version ok, or should I have chosen the other version. My last question or comment is. Are there any custom button configurations you guys are using for racing? I'll share some of mine.
Lower thumb dial - steering dual rate
upper thumb dial - throttle dual rate
front 4 way stick FB(steering trim) LR(steering expo)
back 4 way stick FB(throttle trim) LR(throttle expo)
Left dial - brake rate adjust
swipe up - system
swipe down - model
swipe left - controls assign
swipe right - main menu
Then I did a custom display screen display to remove ch3 and ch4 - then added steering expo/dual rate and brake rate.
The timer feature is cool too. Not sure I will use it. But I have it set to start the race timer at 99% throttle then reset with the rear paddle button so I can reset it on the line.
