I've been on the hunt for an affordable power driver to use while building and maintaining my vehicles and stumbled upon this review  of the Genesis 7.2 Volt Lithium-Ion Screwdriver by Pete over at RCCarAction

I haven't purchased one of these for myself yet but it's definitely on my short list

Here's a link to the Genesis on Amazon if you want to check the current price

Most of the Amazon reviews are pretty good (4 stars) as well.  If you happen to have one or buy one, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

For the past year or so, I've been running the FlySky FS-GT3C in all of my vehicle and, for the price, it has been great.  FlySky recently released the new FS-NB4 Noble however and I couldn't resist the temptation to order one for myself of off Amazon.  I'll start to test it once it arrives and will update this post about my experience so stay tuned for more info

I can't say with 100% certainty yet but I believe the new FlySky FS-NB4 will be available for purchase from TeamRedcatShop.com some time in the near future

In the meantime, I have created a product page where you can learn more about this new radio and watch a few review videos here

PS, until I have the Noble available for sale, please use my Amazon link if you decide to buy one for yourself (or anything else on Amazon for that matter) and Amazon will pay me a small commission

Update:  My Noble has arrived and just like the unboxing videos show, the packaging was quite nice.  I felt like I was unboxing the latest Apple product.

First impressions of the transmitter are great.  The it feels really good in my hand, has a very solid feel with enough weight to make it feel like a quality piece without being overly heavy or bulky.

Receiver:  What can I say about the FGr4 receiver other than IT'S BIG!  I'm surprised all of the YouTube videos don't comment on the size of the receiver.  In fact, one guy even says the receiver is small.  I disagree!  This thing is huge!  The receiver dimensions are:
Length:  35mm
Width:  25mm
Height:  20mm

Be sure to measure your intended installation location / receiver box to make sure the receiver will fit.

Hopefully FlySky will come out with a smaller receiver at some point in the future.  It'd like to see an antenna-less version similar to the units offered by Futaba and Sanwa

Update 2:  Well, here's some good news...I've just learned that smaller receivers are available for the Noble.  They are called FGr4S and are styled similarly to the pro units from Sanwa and Futaba.  Somebody on Facebook told me that his Noble actually came with the smaller FGr4S receiver...this would make more sense in my opinion.  I'll see if I can get my hands on some of these then report back to you on my thoughts
