Spektrum Smart ESC Programming Update Box: Avian and Firma, SPMXCA200, Black

Battery checker on one side is nice to check balance volts of each cell etc.Once you search the model number on PC and download the program it's simple. Good YouTube videos on it.Plug pc into card and the ESC thru the port on the power button. Check firmware first and update to the latest. Make your changes and save.I just turned my reverse speed to 50% and the servo BEC from 6v to 7.2v. The cooling fan on the ESC increased. Will update if it burns out. 😆 It's faster and stronger now.You can turn the reverse speed down on the radio using the "brake rate" Dial too.Once everything is updated you can just plug it into the same power button port in the field without a PC to make changes.

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!

So I was on the fence with upgrading to a brushless 2in1 ESC combo for my crawler. I was looking at Hobbywing (programmer is provided) or Spektrum (which all my rigs run today). The programmer comes with a USB-USB-C cable to update firmware from a Windows PC. I needed to do this immediately with mine, it would program but some options were not present.Firmware update on programmer took about 10 minutes - I plugged the programmer into the programming port on my ESC power button and pressed the button to connect after the ESC was powered up. I had the ESC menu next to me so programming was a breeze, I bring this to the field and have changed a few settings based on conditions. So easy to use - it's a buy it, use it a couple times, then store until next time. I'm going to rent mine to my buddies, lol!

Worked perfectly for arma kraton 6s but not for the felony. Said it needed update but doesn't provide where to get one

You wanna unlock your Arrma, Losi, Or Axial esc's real potential? Grab this baby and let them rip as intended. Max that punch and increase the brake without all the beeps and flashes.

This is a must-have to configure your ESC specs

This programmer makes tuning some Spektrum ESCs a cinch. Most likely you'll have to download an app to update the firmware on this unit. Once that is done, the tuning process is FAST and SIMPLE. No more pressing buttons 50 times and wondering if you did it correctly (although that works if you have the patience). This programming unit works like other cards, but it has more options for the smart ESCs. I used this for the ARRMA vehicles, but it can be used for aircraft also, depending on your ESC. A nifty product although a little overpriced IMO. Be aware it most likely will NOT program out of the box UNTIL it is updated via the app, FYI.
