r/rccars

Early on I kept thinking upgrades would solve most issues.

But after spending more time with the setup, small adjustments like throttle control, surface choice, and how I handle turns made a bigger difference than expected.

It changed how I approach improving performance less about replacing parts, more about understanding behavior first.

Rock Van v2 here. I’m upgrading to brushless and have set myself on the Hobbywing Mini24 ESC as I am already within the ecosystem and have the programming card.

However, not sure if I want to pair it to the quicrun or something else. I’ve seen the fat viper is highly recommended and works with the HW ESC.

What other options might be worth considering?

I just wanted to share something with anyone that may have this radio and is having trouble updating the firmware.

I built a lot of RC Cars this past winter at least 6. All are complete to the point of only needing their receivers installed. On Sunday I sat down to do just that. I started early, hoping I’d be able to drive them all before it rained. I used the same INr4GYB receiver/Gyro in all of them.

Having not used my Noble Pro very much since I got it, I knew the firmware would have to be updated first. Easy enough, I downloaded the Flysky Assistant and plugged the radio into my laptop. When I turned the radio on I got an intermittent error and a constant chiming from it not recognizing the device..

I must have went through 20 different YouTube tutorials trying to correct the perceived problem with my laptop and still nothing changed. It got late and started raining, so I had to give up on my plan.

I brought the Noble pro to work the following day thinking it was my laptop that was the problem. When I plugged the radio into my work pc I got the same error.. Totally frustrated now, this prompted me to order a new radio, a Spektrum DX pro.

Today I got into my office early and decided to search again for problems with Flysky Noble Pro radio not being found by pc for update. The first thing that came up was this:

“To put NP into usb mode tap the upper power button on the radio twice” -otherwise the pc is trying to read the battery only.

I did that and it was instantly found by the pc and I was able to update to the latest firmware version. I was even able to bind all of my receivers using a separate battery. It all works beautifully now as intended.

My point is; I wasted an entire day trying to figure this out when it could have simply been printed somewhere with the radio literature which I read back to front many times. I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue.
