For UK RC enthusiasts seeking a brushless ESC with genuine intelligence and reliability built-in, the Avian 200A HV is a serious upgrade that transforms your flying experience.
Key Features
- Smart All-in-One Telemetry System — Unlike conventional ESCs that simply regulate power, the Avian 200A HV provides direct access to vital operating data including current draw, voltage levels, temperature readings and performance metrics. This real-time feedback helps you optimise your aircraft setup for peak efficiency and safety, and gives you confidence that all your electronics are working together perfectly.
- Fast, Powerful 32-bit ARM M4 Processor — The advanced processor architecture ensures lightning-quick response times and smooth power delivery regardless of flying conditions. This high-performance computing core handles complex calculations that optimise motor commutation and electronic control, resulting in smoother acceleration, better efficiency and more predictable flight characteristics.
- Compact Design for Easy Installation — Measuring 89mm long, 50mm wide and 36mm tall with a weight of just 376 grams, the Avian 200A HV fits easily into most aircraft airframes without requiring extensive modifications. The thoughtful compact form factor doesn't compromise functionality—it's engineered specifically to mount in tight spaces where space is at a premium.
- Ready to Install with No Soldering Required — High heat-resistant IC connectors come pre-fitted and are backwards compatible with EC connectors, meaning installation is straightforward for pilots of all experience levels. This plug-and-play approach saves time during setup and reduces the risk of loose connections or cold solder joints that could cause mid-flight failures.
- Multi-Point Protection System — The ESC incorporates over-current protection that safeguards against short circuits and motor binding, automatic LiPo low-voltage cutoff that preserves battery health and prevents over-discharge damage, thermal protection that monitors heat dissipation, and failsafe protection that keeps your model safe if communication is lost.
- Dual BEC Power Connectors — Two independent battery elimination circuit connectors allow you to power multiple receiver and servo combinations, providing redundancy and flexibility for complex aircraft setups with numerous control surfaces.
- Heat Dissipating Design — The physical construction includes thermal management features that efficiently disperse heat generated during high-demand flying, ensuring the ESC remains cool even during extended high-current operations or sustained aerobatic manoeuvres.
- Firmware Updatable — Spektrum continuously improves ESC performance through firmware updates, which can be installed via the Smart ESC Programming Box or the SmartLink PC application. This means your investment remains current with the latest optimisations and feature improvements.
- Multiple Programming Options — Configure your ESC using the dedicated Smart ESC Programming Box for on-field adjustments, the SmartLink USB application for detailed computer-based programming, or throttle stick programming for basic settings without additional hardware.
Technical Performance
The Avian 200A HV is engineered for demanding applications where performance, reliability and data insight are non-negotiable. With a continuous current rating of 200 amps and support for 6S through 14S LiPo battery configurations (representing 22.2V to 51.8V), this brushless ESC handles everything from mid-size aerobatic aircraft to large-scale models and high-performance electric jets. The fast 32-bit ARM M4 processor ensures responsive throttle control and smooth motor commutation at any flight envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What battery voltage does the Spektrum Avian 200A HV support? — The ESC accepts 6S to 14S LiPo batteries, meaning it works with anything from 22.2V (6 cells) through to 51.8V (14 cells). This enormous voltage range makes it suitable for a huge variety of aircraft from mid-size aerobatic models through to large-scale giants and electric jets.
- How does the Smart telemetry system work? — When paired with compatible Spektrum Smart receivers and batteries, the ESC communicates real-time performance data including current draw, voltage levels, temperature and other parameters. You can monitor this information through compatible radio systems, providing unprecedented insight into your aircraft's electrical performance during flight.
- Is the Avian 200A HV difficult to install? — No. The ESC comes pre-wired with plug-and-play connectors—no soldering is required. Simply connect the motor leads to your brushless motor, attach the battery connector, and plug in your receiver leads. The compact design fits into most modern aircraft airframes without modification.
- What's the difference between this and non-Smart ESCs? — The Avian 200A HV is part of Spektrum's Smart ecosystem and provides integrated telemetry, advanced programming options, and communication with other Smart components. Non-Smart ESCs simply regulate power without providing performance data or advanced features. The Smart system gives you genuine insight into what's happening during flight.
- Can I use this ESC with my existing Spektrum radio system? — Yes, the Avian 200A HV is fully compatible with Spektrum DSMX and DSM2 receiver systems. You'll need a compatible Spektrum receiver installed in your aircraft to use the telemetry features, but basic ESC operation works with standard receiver configurations.
- What kind of protection does this ESC offer? — The Avian 200A HV includes multiple layers of protection: over-current protection prevents damage from motor binding or short circuits, automatic low-voltage cutoff protects lithium batteries from over-discharge damage, thermal protection monitors and limits operation if temperatures become excessive, and failsafe protection keeps your model safe if radio signal is lost.
- Is firmware updating easy? — Yes. Updates can be installed using either the Smart ESC Programming Box (portable on-field updates) or the SmartLink PC application (detailed computer-based programming). Spektrum regularly releases firmware improvements that enhance performance and add features.
- What current rating does this ESC handle? — The Avian 200A HV is rated for continuous operation at 200 amps, making it suitable for high-performance aircraft with powerful brushless motors. This current capacity handles demanding applications where sustained high current draw is normal.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
