Smart ESC Programming Update Box for Avian and Firma, SPMXCA200, Black

If you are upgrading to a Spektrum brushless motor, you need to get one of these. The cheaper cards work, but it is sure nice to be able to see what the settings are on the programmer rather than having to refer to a sticker with all the options. Just make sure you save your settings before disconnecting, took me a minute to figure that one out. This thing ensures you get the fullest functionality out of your motor and allows you to dial back the punch and top speed. It runs on the power from your vehicle, so no additional batteries to mess with. I guess it's durable, I haven't had any issues with it, but it is made of plastic.

Easy to use, compact and quick. Functionality wise you can set everything you normally set with an esc, this just makes it easier and trouble-free. There is no battery life so I can see it being durable for a long time. Value for the money is there, just need to have enough real life use cases to get there.

I bought 2 new r/c trucks and both of them had a bad ESC. I returned the first one but decided to try and fix the 2nd one. The ESC needed a firmware update, so I bought a programmer and looked on YouTube to figure out how to use it. I was worried that it wouldn't work, but once I figured out how to update the programmer, it worked great. I got so confident that I used it on the controllers in every vehicle I had. This is a must have item for any hobbyist and I'm glad I added it to my repair kit.

This does not deserve the hate its getting! The simple fact some aren't getting is that this requires a firmware update to work with newer ESCs, then that same ESC needs a firmware update. Both happen through the same software, and both are required. It's awesome and convenient. You know exactly what values you're getting with no need for a printed card, or the dreadful beeps to program. You need a USB-C data cable (included) to plug in simultaneously while the programmer is plugged in to the ESC. This provides power and data. The software will auto load the firmware updates. It is an easy process if you know what's required to get it working. Is it kinda irritating to have to upgrade the firmware immediately for all functionality? Yes. But once you do it, you can upgrade your Spektrum ESCs to the most recent firmware AND use your computer to change settings if you misplace the smart programmer. If you're having trouble getting this working, check YouTube. I'm by no means technologically advanced, and if I can figure it out in about 30 minutes.. you're selling yourself short. There's some way you can get this stuff to work with a Bluetooth module. That's what I'm working on!

I purchased a used RC boat that has Spectrum electronics. Initially, it did not perform as I expected, yet upon investigating (I.e. googling), I found that the Spectrum ESC has many parameters that are controllable. With this device, I was able to customize settings where the boat performs above my expetation. It is to note that most all such paramaters can be modified w/o device (via combinations of 'button push sequences', yet this tool did help me quickly resolve my (the boats) issue

If you’re big into RC’s and have any spektrum products, this this is a game changer. small and compact, works great for what i wanted.

Sweet. AAA. Easy to use.

Head's up , only working on Smart ESC'S Only. Didn't work on my BLX ESC'S. Yet easy fast setting. Definitely recommend. I hate depending on beeps & blinking lights for setting up my ESC'S. Buy this

Easy esc programming. In theoretical you don't need it.

Tarjeta programadora para los variadores marca spektrum Funciona bien, sin problema

Will only work with spectrum esc.

After updating this card on the spectrum website I easily updated the control units and adjusted settings on 3 different cars very easily. Easy menu, scrolling and setting use on the card too.

I am absolutely blown away by how much better this program card is compared to hobbywing's even though uts only a rebrand, for some reason, the car functions quicker and snappier, i dont know how to explain it, it jist feels like a different card to be honest, it responds so much faster and makes the programming feel so much faster and easier, i highly recommend you buy this if you have any spektrum firma or avain esc, becahse using this card, you cna update yoyr esc and give it more power, just go to the spektrum website and download the update, trust me its super worth it, you will notice a massive power difference as it will release the full potential of your esc, moreover, you cna adjust things like brakes and horizon hobby vehicles literally come with barely any brakes, you can adjust that and also bec voltage for your servo to function much faster and have more power too!
