NEW FlySky Noble NB4+ Plus

Best left handed radio under $700.00. Mine has been rained on, fished out of a creek, the ex-wife attempted to flush it down the toilet, and my dog has used it for a chew toy. It still works. Did I mention it's been dropped several hundred times. Maybe it's time for a new one.

Any new features?

Looking to get this once, or if my rc8x sells.

This one replaces the OG NB4 as the original is now discontinued.

If my old radio doesn't sell, I'll be stuck with my first one, the 4gs until I come up with 300 spare dollars. Terrible that a 330 dollar radio has ssues and the company doesn't listen to us and fixes them. Flysky should hopefully have better support and hopefully if I do get this radio. It can serve me for at least the next 3 years of my rc racing career. The rc8x only lasted 2 months before I noticed the issues and I been having them for the past 6 plus months. They are never g9ing to fix them anyways so why keep trying.

Take a look at the Radiomaster MT12. The initial learning curve is steep but doable and the cost is crazy low compared to other radios. I have one that I've been using recently for testing instead of my Futaba and it's worked great. Two races (off-road and oval) and no problems. I'm still tweaking settings and trying new things with it so my actual driving hasn't been that great

You guys need to quit treating your transmitters like iphones, you don't really need to upgrade every time a new one comes out.

Well in my case, I HAD to because i previously bought no name china junk. But this radio since I spent my money well on quality stuff, it will stay with me until I either get out of RC, or if it gets outdated/obsolete. Hey, my uncle is running a 9 year old futaba system and it is still relevant and up to todays standards.

This may be harsh, but I own both the old NB4 and the new NB4+. Except for the color screen and the fancy steering wheel I can't tell them apart. The range and how it responds is the same. The difference may be features I don't use, but I wouldn't know that because I don't use them.

Once I start seeing the Noble radios lasting longer than 10 years in an outdoor environment, then I'll be convinced on their overall stature.

Good to know. I have the OG NB4 and wondered about that. I know there's some new throttle curve settings, but that's all I saw besides the screen. Now, is the screen easier to see in daylight? Because the original is rather difficult....
