Overview
The Axial SCX6 Shock Spring 2.3 Rate Purple 100mm is a premium replacement suspension component designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand precision performance from their 1/6 scale rock crawlers. These high-quality shock springs are engineered to deliver consistent suspension behaviour across a variety of terrain conditions, making them an essential upgrade or replacement for any SCX6-platform vehicle. Whether you're running the Jeep JLU Wrangler or Trail Honcho models, this suspension component ensures your RC car maintains optimal ride height, stability and handling characteristics during aggressive off-road adventures.
Built to Axial's exacting standards, these purple-coded shock springs offer a 2.3 rate specification that provides the perfect balance between responsiveness and damping for rock crawling applications. The 100mm length design fits seamlessly into the SCX6's sophisticated suspension geometry, allowing your RC crawler to absorb impacts more effectively whilst maintaining predictable on-terrain performance. If you're serious about getting the most from your 1/6 scale RC car UK setup, investing in quality suspension components like these shock springs will noticeably improve your vehicle's capabilities and longevity.
Available as a pair, these replacement springs allow you to upgrade one or both axles depending on your tuning preferences and driving style. For competitive climbers or weekend bashers alike, authentic Axial replacement parts ensure compatibility and reliability that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
Key Features
- 2.3 Spring Rate — This specific spring rate has been calibrated for the SCX6 platform to provide optimal suspension response during rock crawling, allowing the vehicle to maintain traction whilst absorbing impacts from uneven terrain without excessive bottoming-out.
- 100mm Length — Precisely engineered to fit the SCX6's suspension mounting points, ensuring perfect integration with your vehicle's geometry and maintaining the correct ride height and suspension travel characteristics.
- Purple Colour Coding — The distinctive purple finish not only looks great but also serves as a clear identifier of the spring rate, making it easy to match springs during maintenance, repair or tuning adjustments across multiple RC vehicles.
- Genuine Axial Component — As an official Axial replacement part, these shock springs are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, ensuring reliability and performance that matches the engineering of your SCX6 platform.
- Pack of Two — Each purchase includes a pair of springs, allowing you to upgrade both front and rear shocks or replace worn components on a single axle with spare springs for backup during extended driving sessions.
- SCX6 Compatibility — These springs are specifically designed for Axial SCX6 models including the Jeep JLU Wrangler 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR and the Trail Honcho 4X4 RTR, with confirmed fitment across multiple colour variants.
Technical Performance
The Axial SCX6 Shock Spring represents a critical component in the sophisticated suspension system that defines modern 1/6 scale rock crawling. These springs work in conjunction with the SCX6's dual-rate damping shocks to create a suspension system capable of tackling extreme terrain while maintaining vehicle control. The 2.3 rate specification represents a carefully balanced engineering choice that prevents the suspension from becoming too stiff (which would reduce traction and increase body roll) whilst avoiding excessive softness that could cause the chassis to bottom out during aggressive driving. The 100mm length is precisely matched to the SCX6's suspension travel geometry, ensuring that the springs compress and extend smoothly throughout the vehicle's intended operating range. In real-world rock crawling scenarios, quality suspension springs like these are the foundation of vehicle performance, directly affecting ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and the vehicle's ability to articulate over obstacles. Manufactured from high-quality steel using Axial's proven production methods, these springs maintain their spring characteristics through countless cycles of compression and extension, resisting fatigue and sagging that can plague lower-quality aftermarket alternatives. When combined with complementary suspension upgrades and proper tuning, these shock springs deliver noticeable improvements in ride quality, terrain conformity and overall vehicle responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a 2.3 rate shock spring and why does it matter for my SCX6? — The spring rate refers to how much force is required to compress the spring by a set distance, measured in kilograms per 10mm of compression. A 2.3 rate spring provides a specific balance for the SCX6 platform, offering enough stiffness to support the vehicle's weight whilst remaining compliant enough to maintain traction during rock crawling over obstacles and uneven terrain. Choosing the correct spring rate is fundamental to vehicle performance tuning.
- Are these shock springs suitable for beginners with RC cars? — Yes, these genuine Axial replacement springs are appropriate for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. If you already own an SCX6 model, upgrading or replacing worn suspension springs is a straightforward maintenance task that significantly improves vehicle performance. These components don't require special tools or advanced mechanical knowledge to install.
- Which SCX6 models are these shock springs compatible with? — These springs are confirmed compatible with the Axial SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler 4X4 Rock Crawler RTR and the Axial SCX6 Trail Honcho 4X4 RTR, across all available colour variants including Green, Red, Silver and Sand options.
- How often should I replace or upgrade my shock springs? — Spring replacement intervals depend on your driving frequency and terrain conditions. Springs that have lost their rate specification or show signs of sagging should be replaced to restore vehicle handling. Many RC enthusiasts also upgrade to different spring rates to fine-tune their vehicle's performance characteristics for specific driving conditions or terrain types.
- Do I need to replace both front and rear springs at the same time? — Whilst you can upgrade individual springs, many drivers prefer to replace springs in pairs (both fronts or both rears) to maintain balanced suspension behaviour. The pair included in this product allows you to upgrade one complete axle, though matching all four springs is ideal for optimal vehicle balance.
- What tools do I need to install these shock springs? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools such as hex wrenches and possibly a shock tower tool, depending on your SCX6 configuration. Your vehicle's instruction manual will provide specific guidance on shock spring removal and installation procedures.
