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!
Please note - The Spektrum Avian Smart 15A ESC does not include the Smart Battery Data Wire and does not provide Motor Current. Battery telemetry data will not be transmitted (Battery Temp, Battery Cycles, Battery Cell Balance). Only the following ESC telemetry will be provided; Input Voltage, Throttle Input and Output %, ESC FET Temp and Motor RPM.

EC3™/EC5™ Backwards Compatible
Avian™ ESCs feature IC™ series battery connectors. The IC series of connectors are designed from the ground up to provide a more solid connection, higher heat resistance, and effortless installation. When used with an IC3™ or IC5™ connector-equipped Spektrum™ Smart battery, the ESC can receive and transmit battery telemetry data. EC3™ and EC5™ connectors are also compatible with Avian ESCs for basic operation and ESC telemetry.
Multiple Programming Options
Multiple programming options are available. Throttle stick programming can be used with nothing more needed. Using the Smart ESC Programming Box, you can easily change settings at the field to suit flying conditions. An easy-to-use Smart Link USB Updating and Programmer app is also available.
Smart ESC Thrust Reversing
Now included with Smart Avian ESCs is the ability to reverse the motor at the flip of a switch! This allows for pilots to use the power system for increased mobility on the ground as well as acting as a brake for models requiring more runway to land. This function requires a Smart compatible Spektrum Transmitter and Receiver and needs to be activated with in the ESC parameters.
On-Screen ESC Programming
Avian ESCs now come updated to allow pilots to program any ESC parameter, right from their Spektrum Transmitter, via the Avian Prog telemetry screen. This makes it easier to make quick setting changes, adjustments and experimentation to maximize power output or efficiency , right on the flight line, no extra boxes or modules required! This function requires a Smart telemetry compatible Spektrum Transmitter and Receiver.
