Spektrum Firma Smart brushless speed controllers

Horizon Hobby have introduced their all-new Spektrum Firma Smart Technology high-performance brushless speed controllers. Like every component in the Spektrum Smart ecosystem, Firma Smart ESCs combine “plug-and-play” simplicity with the ability to communicate with other Smart electronics, creating a very well-performing RC system. With Firma Smart ESCs, owners are better connected to their vehicle than ever before — without installing extra components that all work independently of each other. There is no need for extra wires, modules, or links. A Firma electronic speed control provides a one-wire solution for obtaining telemetry data such as RPM, temperature, battery voltage and capacity. Firma ESCs not only gather the data but also send it to compatible transmitters in real time, instead of only storing it for after-run study. Users are able to adjust settings as needed to boost performance on the go. The range includes the Firma 160A 3S-8S controller, the Firma 150A 3S-6S ESC as well as the Firma 130A 2S-4S speedo. All feature an all-weather waterproof design, EC3/EC5 backwards compatible battery connectors as well as the One-Wire telemetry function. Multiple programming options are available for each controller. Button programming can be used with nothing more needed. Using the Smart Firma ESC Programming Box, drivers can easily change settings at the track to suit driving conditions. An easy-to-use Smart Link USB Updating and PC Programmer app is also available.
