Product Overview

Like every component in the Spektrum™ Smart ecosystem, Avian™ Smart ESCs combine "plug-and-play" simplicity with the ability to communicate with other Smart electronics — together, creating the best-performing RC system for your aircraft imaginable.

Avian Smart Air ESCs do much more than regulate power. They function like a virtual engineer inside your model, providing a direct path to the vital operating data you need to reach peak performance. Avian Smart Air ESCs give you an extra layer of confidence that your electronics are all operating at their best.

With Avian Smart Air ESCs, you'll be better connected to your aircraft than ever before — without installing extra components that all work independently of each other. You won't need extra wires, modules, or links. An Avian electronic speed control provides a one-wire solution for obtaining telemetry data such as current, voltage, cell balance, temperature and RPM.

Avian ESCs not only gather the data but also send it to your transmitter in real time, instead of only storing it for after-run study. You're able to adjust settings as needed to boost performance on the go. The Avian Smart single-wire telemetry solution has been tested for quality and performance by the best brands in RC. Their verdict? Smart technology is both simpler and superior!

Thrust reversing, available on the Spektrum P-SPMXAE1120HV Avian 120A Smart ESC with 6S–12S LiPo support, IC5 input, and 32-bit ARM M4 processor, adds a layer of control for ground mobility and landing management. With a Smart-compatible transmitter and receiver, users can reverse motor direction instantly, enabling smoother taxiing and braking on the runway. This feature is particularly valuable for large aircraft that require extended landing distances or operate in confined environments. Activated through ESC parameters, thrust reversing enhances realism and safety without requiring additional hardware.

How does the ARM M4 processor improve responsiveness?

At the core of the Spektrum P-SPMXAE1120HV HV ESC with 120A continuous current, 140A burst, and switch-mode BEC is a powerful 32-bit ARM M4 processor. This advanced chip architecture delivers high-resolution signal input and precise motor output, resulting in smoother throttle transitions and improved flight dynamics. The processor also supports complex telemetry functions and real-time data handling, ensuring accurate feedback without latency. For pilots seeking maximum control and responsiveness, the M4 processor is a key contributor to the ESC’s performance and reliability.

What programming options are available for field adjustments?

The Smart ESC for giant-scale aircraft and 600+ class helicopters with one-wire telemetry and firmware updates offers multiple programming methods to suit different pilot preferences. Throttle stick programming allows basic adjustments without extra tools. For more detailed configuration, the Smart ESC Programming Box provides a user-friendly interface for on-site tuning. Additionally, the SmartLink USB application enables firmware updates and parameter changes via PC. These options ensure that pilots can adapt their ESC settings to match flying conditions and performance goals with minimal downtime.

How does the aluminum heat sink and compact design support durability?

The high-performance air ESC with aluminum heat sink, dual BEC connectors, and overload protection is built to withstand the rigors of high-voltage flight. Its aluminum heat sink enhances thermal dissipation, preventing overheating during extended operation. The compact form factor (89mm length, 28mm height, 46mm width) allows for easy integration into tight fuselage compartments, while the 0.43 lb weight maintains aircraft balance. Dual BEC connectors ensure stable power distribution, and overload protection safeguards against electrical surges. These features combine to deliver long-term reliability and consistent performance.
