I'n surprised you couldn't get one nin the USA. I thought Redcat racing were the importers?

No, I just mess around with the basic's until I'm happy. Once steering end points and esc's are calibrated I just fiddle around one setting at a time. I dont use stuff like steering exponential on crawlers. Fast stuff would use that.

Both my Ascender's have different esc's and steering is a bit different. Setting up stuff is so easy it's ridiculous. The one thing I didn't like about my DX4S was the fiddly scroller which is now playing up.

Well the vender I ordered from said they are out of stock, so I cancelled the order ( I think, hope) and reordered from another vender. I found a receiver from a us vendor, but couldn't find anyone that had the radio.
So still waiting.

That's a shame. I read on Facebook that Redcat aren't stocking the Noble at the moment. Don't know why as they will miss out on sales.

I haven't done any more with my Noble as yet. Weather has been bad and the last week or so had flu. Just been working on the Ascenders and dug out my old Glamis Uno that's been sat for a couple of years since I burnt the motor out.

Add to that. I was reading through comments on FB and someone linked to Aliexpress for the FGR4S rx's. The new receivers are as expensive as Spektrum lol.

There is a new firmware out for the noble. Also found a Version list as pdf
https://www.flysky-cn.com/s/Noble-NB4-20190110.pdf
But i can't read Chinese maybe some one can translate the key features, most important is this the upgrade to more channels?

According to the PDF file. It has no mentioned extra channel added. But only fixing some bugs issues previously found in the radio.

Sounds good, but I'm going to wait a while and see what feedback it gets. Only noticeable bug i have is crawler mode where it won't crab. Apart from that no problems.

I haven't tried the firmware. Still happy with the Noble though, easy to use and fairly lightweight.

digerman. I did a quick search and possibly found an answer. Read this short thread on rcgroups. Something about updating the receiver. Hope it helps.

I'm not upgrading again until Flysky find a way to save all my setings. I don't need 8 channels anyway. Flysky are not too good at keeping their website updated anyway. Newer Noble's apparently come with newer firmware than is on their website.
Apart from that the Noble is an excellent radio. Great quality and good response time.

Out of the German forum someone was asking Flysky and that's their answer


"thanks for choosing flysky


we recommand FS-CEV04 to expand the channel of your receiver
we are working on 8chs receiver, and will release it within 2019"
