I bought my flysky nb4 for $116. price has gone up since, i run all my cars with the small antenna less receivers, an i have never had any issues, not with range nor lag, best radio i have ever had.
Both great sets of radio gear, and as you said they both have advantages and disadvantages. I used to run a Radiolink RC6 V2, it was pretty good but boy did it eat through batteries, and it didn't seem all that responsive. I'm now running an NB4, and it's been brilliant so far, no issues with it whatsoever. I use it mainly for indoor racing (1/10th FWD), with the odd occasion outdoors, and as I said no problems at all. Range is decent, responsiveness is excellent, definitely no complaints from me. I love the fact that you don't even need to attach the battery to the bottom for most of the time, only when you need to charge the handset's internal battery. Excellent comparison!!
I started with a NB4 as the receivers were so cheap and I built a car for each class so I needed a lot of them. I was very happy with it up until I got the chance to buy a M17 for a great price from a local pro and used it for the first time at big race last weekend and it is noticeably faster and smoother than the fly sky. I also used the $50 knockoff 482 receivers from amazon and still felt great for 1/8 off-road. Will say the fly sky with battery bank is the best part as the stock m17 battery does seem to need charging everyday between races. Will still use the NB4 for some 10th scale stuff locally and VRC Pro as its nice to just plug in and play. M17 will be my go too for big races and all 1/8 scale off-road.
That is not entirely true, it does support Hobbywing ESC programming for "only" the Hobbywing Axe R2 ESC, no other Hobbywing ESC is supported as of yet... And who knows if this is just a firmware limitation on the ESC, or if their is a hardware limitation on the ESC for Ibus 2 data... I will be very interested in the future if this will scale to all HobbyWing ESC through firmware updates for both the ESC and transmitter/receiver...
Overall, I feel like the RC8X is more versatile and a better value, considering all its features. The RC8X has great weight balance and just feels 'meatier' in the hand. The RC8X also has throttle points for no prep, where as the NB4 does not (iirc). The NB4 is no slouch though, and feels great in the hand and for indoor racing is a great choice! Thanks for the review.
For me this is truly the perfect review I have a couple of basher’s and crawlers and a trophy truck and I was looking for a really good remote upgrade that has the best bang for the buck and you truly helped get past the struggle of which remote to buy and I was literally stuck between these two remotes I went with the radio link Thank you very much for this video it really helped out a lot also the comments also helped out a lot also
Another great comparison video. Personally, I think both radios are great, which could be why I own both...and why I'm even prepping to sell my Futaba 7PX (since moving from San Jose, and having no place to race 1/10, don't feel any need to keep it). That being said, I did notice three advantages of the RC8X you forgot to mention. First, work the NB4 (as well as the Pro), anytime a new firmware is released, it's a multi-step process - backup all your model memories, update the radio's firmware, import all model memories, update the firmware of all receivers (each must be done individually), and re-bind each receiver to the radio (also must be done individually). Although I haven't (yet) updated the firmware on the RC8X, to the best of my knowledge, the process only involves updating the firmware...none of those extra steps are needed. This gives the RC8X an advantage. Second, there's the range. You did very briefly make mention of the RC8X having a greater range, but no specifics were given. I'm thinking people might have been interested in knowing how much ranger reach has. And, finally, something that really separates the RC8X - the DSC Port. The NB4 (and Pro) can be used as a PC controller (for games, RC simulator, etc), as can the RC8X (via the DSC Port)...but, the RC8X's DSC Port can also be used for plugging in a TBS Crossfire (which I have yet to order). With the RC8X's built-in transmitter, the max range is (supposedly) 600m...well, unless one is using the R8EF receiver, which has a 2000m (aerial) range...but, when plugging in a Crossfire, and using one is TBS's 6Ch PWM receivers, max range goes from 600m, to "miles" (actual miles for 'surface' unknown, but TBS achieved 45 miles aerial). That gives the RC8X a huge advantage. Now, I'm sure those readiness are wondering, "Why would anyone need such a range?" Off the top of my head, I can think of two possibilities - driving a vehicle equipped with a camera around the neighborhood, and speedrunning. 🤙🏼
Good point about firmware updates, the Flysky is horrible in this regard, connecting to the server is very slow and it requires a PC. The Radiolink is much easier and faster in this regard, and will work with PC or Mac.
@@RazorRC Exactly. As much as I luv my NB4 (have even considered replacing it with the Pro), the firmware upgrade process in the one thing I hate...which is part of why I haven't yet installed the most recent firmware (most of my cars, trucks, and boats paired to the NB4 still haven't been unboxed since the move). Plus, with the most recent NB4 firmware, they (apparently) did the same thing they did with the Pro firmware, meaning they've blocked the use of non-FlySky receivers (I've been using DM receivers in my Mini-Zs, and SCX24, and need to replace them with actual FlySky micro receivers).
Great review. FYI would love to see some reviews/recommendations on servos, servo comparisons and how to's when calibrating to radios. Specifically with both of these models. Keep up the great work. Thx!
I'm currently thinking about either getting the Radiolink RC8X and converting most of my RC's to run on it or keeping my Futaba setup and someday getting a 7PXR if i can find a good deal on one used or just buy one new if they will still be making them new by then. One of the questions i have is, Does the Radiolink RC8X have good signal quality? I'm a little worried i would hate to get one and find out it has worse signal quality than my current Futaba's.
Cool comparison, I'm definitely going to get the Radiolink RC8X for my bashers, Speedrun cars and maybe drag racing cars. But someday i might try the Flysky Noble NB4 or Pro. Currently i'm using both a Futaba 3PV and 4PM for my all my RC's.
As a vintage rc enthusiast that tries to find electronics that could pass as older, those Radiolink hard case receivers are siiick, only better ones are those orange knock off DSM2 compatible ones.
Rc8x hands down the best surface radio I have owned. Does everything. Draw backs, smallish battery compartment. No separate attachment point for FPV. Built in is fun, but limited in size and resolution.
I will use the RC8X for my crawlers because it has a 12 Channel receiver. For all other stuff or situations I use the Noble or the DX5C because the Futaba Potless costs too much.
another great review @RazorRC . i'm keen on the flysky noble, but not sure on there receiver compatibility, currently have the flysky gt5, is there a receiver that works with both? or i would have to have 2 different receiver's?
Great question, I have the flysky g7p with R7V receiver, will that receiver pair up with the noble or do I need to get different receivers
Год назад+1
One other plus for the Flysky is telemetry sensors. Radiolink only has battery and signal telemetry. Flysky you can add temp & rpm sensors, gps etc... For a car not a big deal, for a hot running boat the telemetry comes in handy.. . Noble Pro anything that needs an antenna-less receiver, telemetry, or full stability control receiver. . RC8X everything else. 😁 . Both great radios
Nice, useful review, thank you. Would you know if the NB4 Pro's display resolves the issue the NB4 display has when viewing it in direct sunlight (where it's fairly impossible to read).
Can someone explain to me if I got one of these controllers how will I do the recivers ? I have xmaxx 8s and scx6 is it turn on and go , or I need to change out the recivers or something ? Thanks
Thanks, are you still having problems with the RC8X glitching? It's very sensitive to antenna placement and doesn't like it when the radio is < 3 feet from the receiver.
@@RazorRCes, I have several receivers r8fg v1.0 and a few single antenna 6 channel, every time I turn on the radio, rc8x need to be at least more than 3 feet to get successfully binding, I am still waiting for my order r8fg version 2.1 receiver to do some test with it, I am glad you made this product comparison, this really filled up some questions (answered), anybody in the RC community are waiting for. Thank you for making this video👍🏻. Update with new firmware 1.1.5 improvement signal block issues, no issues even less than a foot.
Love my NB4, only disadvantage for me is the firmware upgrade process radio and receiver, The display need to be brighter, I wish I didn't get my Radiolink, I know it has tons of features, but I feel less confident for my race vehicle, and I do agree with most of your product review..
Love that Flysky let’s you move the steering wheel. (My son is lefty and it can make sharing easier) Anyone know of budget (or lower cost) radios where you can get the steering wheel to the opposite side of the transmitter?
The thing I definitely have to complain about is that the noble cannot bind up with all the fly sky receivers can anybody give me advice about binding it
I wanted a more premium radio so as I bought a DX5 Rugged. I absolutely hated it due to the unusable screen and alleged touch interface. I sold it and went back to my Dumbo RC X6. I want a more premium multi model radio so I’m strongly considering the Noble NB4. I held one and the aluminum frame and plastics seem really high quality. The Radio Link seems to have a menu I’d get lost in. The Noble interface seems simple
I found the Radiokink menu to be pretty intuitive. Not hard to learn (compared to any other high-end computer radio) but I would agree the number of options is a bit overwhelming. Definitely, a good idea to. have a copy of the manual on hand, lol! 😉 Also, the manual requires a much better explanation of the throttle curve settings especially as they apply to no prep drag racing.
Which would u recommend for racing, futaba 3pv or this flysky? I know there is a price difference But i remember a review u did where are you Didn’t like the slack in the wheel just after off center
Your radio reviews are great. I can say that outside the NB4 is horrible. To the point that you almost can't see to adjust anything while bashing unless it is overcast. If you only do indoor it is hard to beat. I may have an issue on the battery side from my NB4 as I get about 2 outings between chargers. I paid about $10 more for my NB4 than what was mentioned here as the only way I could get for price mentioned is via is the Chinese direct sites which I don't like to buy from.
IS THIS BETTER THAN THE SPECTRUM RUGGED DX 5 or 6? Looking for a new controller for my xmaxx 8s and scx6 ( basher and crawler ) thank you! I don’t care about things it has that I can do on my phone like emails etc .
I sure hope Radiomaster m12 pushed other manufacturers to make multi protocol transmitters... The m12 is so bulky and ugly ill just wait for now. Those giant buttons 🤣 Both of these are so much nicer looking.
Radio link 💯% u can play music on it , Fpv on it watch a movie on it , 200+cars trucks can go on it too menny functions too remember, both are in leagues of ther own , one in door ones out .
I don't know too much about anything but I could tell that he's 100% in favor for the FlySky because he didn't even mention the other features that the other receiver has? how it hooks up with cameras he left a lot of the features out and he did it on purpose😮
The radio can't kill the receiver, do you have the voltage output of your BEC set too high? I don't think the Radiolink receivers can handle 7.4v or higher.
No doubt the RC8X has had its fair share of issues, especially with signal loss and battery life. I've had no issues (knock on wood) but I am running the original firmware. Most problems seem to stem from the firmware updates, which is ironic. I get great range from mine (I do use one of the single antenna receivers - R6F) and love it for no prep. For a battery, I use a high capacity lipo or, in a jam, the battery box with 8 AAA batteries.
@jerryvolpini7987 it's junk I hope yours doesn't fail but it will. And if you aren't using the latest update the radiomaster mt12 is a far better option for less that has better range and does more stuff. I worked with radiolink for over a year to fix the rc6gs issues in throttle ramping and tried to fix the rc8x but radiolink won't even acknowledge the issues and after buying 2 and both failing I'll stick with companies that actually stand by there product. The mt12 works with radiolink receivers
Thanks for another great review.

Ilove mine had it for 2 years ony problem is the screen brightness . thanks for the noble content on your youtube channel really helped me out .
Will it work with my older flysky receivers? Are the "bindable"? I prefer the wire antenna version!

Radiolink is garbage with no quality control don't waste your money on that junk
I was on the fence about picking up a Noble, until this video. I might pull the trigger on one. (Pun intended)

Just a little update , the NB4 got really , really cheap now, I got one for 125$USD shipped , brand new.
Did you have the receiver settings adjusted to 3ms (from the default 14ms) when you compared them?
Does the NB4 have a momentary button for winches on cralwers?
The noble have small gyro recievers with SVC control. In the start you said that was an advantage the radio link had

can I use head track with some long range module like crossfire at the same time? I think both of them uses DSC port right?
