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!

One-Wire Telemetry
No need to connect multiple wires, sensors, modules, and links. With Avian ESCs, simple
one-wire telemetry transmits a wide range of data directly to your transmitter in real time,
including current, voltage, cell balance, temperature and 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.
Smart Technology Battery Data
When used with a Spektrum Smart LiPo battery, your Avian ESC provides you with the benefit of
battery telemetry that’s automatically transmitted to your radio in real time. On your
transmitter screen you’ll be presented with helpful information such as number of cycles,
battery percentage, individual cell voltage and more!
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.
Fast, Powerful M4 Processor
The Avian ESCs’ 32-bit M4 processor produces higher resolution signal input and more accurate
motor output.
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.
