Overview
The Axial SCX6 Shock Spring 3.0 Rate Orange 100mm (2) is a premium suspension upgrade component designed specifically for the 1/6 scale Axial SCX6 rock crawler platform.

Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast looking to fine-tune your suspension setup or a dedicated SCX6 owner seeking reliable replacement parts, these genuine Axial shock springs deliver the performance and quality you expect from an authorised manufacturer.
The 3.0 rate specification represents a stiffer spring rating compared to softer alternatives, making these springs ideal for specific terrain conditions, heavier vehicle configurations, or drivers who prefer a more responsive suspension feel. The distinctive orange colour makes identification quick and easy when switching between different spring rates during tuning sessions. With a 100mm length and a pair included in each package, these springs provide a complete suspension upgrade solution for your SCX6 Jeep JLU Wrangler or Trail Honcho rock crawler.
As an authorised Axial retailer in the UK, RC Model Shop stocks genuine original equipment manufacturer parts that ensure compatibility and longevity. These shock springs are replacement parts and optional tuning components that allow you to customise your SCX6's suspension performance to match your driving style and terrain preferences.
Key Features
- 3.0 Spring Rate — This medium-stiff spring rate provides a balanced suspension response that works well across a variety of rock crawling terrain, offering more resistance than softer springs whilst maintaining ride comfort and articulation for the 1/6 scale SCX6 platform.
- 100mm Length — Specifically engineered for the SCX6 suspension geometry, the 100mm shock length ensures proper suspension travel, ride height consistency, and optimal shock absorption characteristics across both front and rear axles of your rock crawler.
- Pair Pack (2 Springs) — This package includes two shock springs, providing complete coverage for one axle or allowing you to maintain spare springs for quick suspension adjustments, tuning sessions, or as replacement parts when your original springs wear out.
- Orange Identification Colour — The bright orange finish provides quick visual identification of the 3.0 rate specification, making it easy to distinguish between different spring rates when building or modifying your suspension setup during competition or casual driving.
- Genuine Axial Parts — As authentic original equipment manufacturer components, these shock springs guarantee proper fitment, materials quality, and performance characteristics that integrate seamlessly with your SCX6's existing suspension system.
Technical Performance
The Axial SCX6 Shock Spring 3.0 Rate Orange represents genuine OEM suspension engineering for the 1/6 scale SCX6 rock crawler platform. These shock springs are precision-manufactured components designed to work in harmony with the SCX6's advanced suspension geometry and shock absorber system. The 3.0 spring rate sits in the medium-stiff range of the SCX6 suspension tuning spectrum, offering drivers a versatile setup that handles technical rock terrain, uneven ground, and moderate impact loads effectively. The 100mm length has been carefully calculated to match the SCX6's suspension travel limits, ensuring that your shocks operate within their optimal working range whilst preventing bottoming out during aggressive driving. The orange colour coding system used by Axial allows quick identification during multi-spring tuning sessions, which is particularly valuable when comparing handling characteristics across different spring rates. These suspension components are manufactured to the same quality standards as every component that ships on the complete SCX6 RTR rock crawler, ensuring durability, consistency, and reliable performance across extended use. Whether you're replacing worn suspension springs, tuning your setup for different terrain conditions, or building a complete spare suspension assembly, these genuine Axial springs deliver the engineering quality expected from a premium RC rock crawler manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 3.0 spring rate mean for my SCX6? — The 3.0 rating indicates a medium-stiff spring rate that provides moderate suspension resistance. This is ideal for drivers who want a balanced feel between responsive handling and comfortable ride quality, making it suitable for mixed terrain and general rock crawling without specialist tuning knowledge. Compared to softer rates like 2.3, the 3.0 springs resist compression more strongly, giving your SCX6 a slightly higher ride height and more controlled suspension movement during technical climbing.
- How often do shock springs need replacing? — Shock springs on RC crawlers typically last through hundreds of driving hours before requiring replacement. However, springs can gradually lose their spring rate over time through normal use, or you may choose to switch to different rates for specific terrain conditions. Keeping spare springs on hand allows quick suspension tuning without waiting for replacement parts to arrive.
- Can I mix different spring rates on my SCX6? — Whilst the SCX6 platform allows for different spring rates to be installed, it's generally recommended to maintain consistent spring rates across both front and rear axles for balanced handling characteristics. However, some advanced drivers do experiment with mixed rates for specific terrain advantages. Always test suspension changes on safe terrain before heading to challenging rock crawling locations.
- What spring rate should I choose for rock crawling? — The 3.0 rate offers an excellent all-round choice for general rock crawling and mixed terrain. If you find your SCX6 is too stiff, the softer 2.3 rate provides more compliance. If you prefer stiffer handling or run heavier payloads, consider higher rates. The best rate depends on your driving style, terrain, and vehicle setup.
- Are these genuine Axial parts? — Yes, these are authentic original equipment manufacturer shock springs supplied directly by Axial. Genuine parts ensure proper fitment, correct spring rates, and compatibility with your SCX6's suspension system. Counterfeit or aftermarket springs may not deliver consistent performance or durability.
