Key Features
- 2.85lbs/in Spring Rate — This medium spring rate provides a balanced suspension feel that works well across multiple terrain types, offering enough stiffness for controlled handling whilst maintaining sufficient compliance for comfort and traction over rough ground.
- 14x70mm Dimensions — The 14mm diameter barrel with a 70mm extended length makes these springs compatible with various Axial models and suspension setups, providing a direct fit for vehicles engineered to use this spring size specification.
- Medium Green Colour — The distinctive medium green finish not only looks professional but serves as a visual identifier of the spring rate, making it easy to distinguish between different spring options in your parts box and avoid mixing incompatible rates.
- Pair Quantity — Each pack contains two identical springs, allowing you to replace both sides of your suspension simultaneously and maintain perfectly balanced handling characteristics across left and right sides of your RC vehicle.
- Genuine Axial Racing Component — As an official Axial product, these springs are engineered to OEM specifications and quality standards, ensuring reliability and perfect compatibility with your Axial RC model when used as replacements or upgrades.
- Precision Engineering — Each spring in the pair is manufactured to tight tolerances, guaranteeing that both units deliver identical spring rates and performance characteristics for consistent, predictable handling throughout your driving sessions.
Technical Performance
The AXIAL Spring 14x70mm 2.85lbs/in represents the culmination of Axial Racing's expertise in suspension engineering. With a spring rate of 2.85 pounds per inch, these components occupy the sweet spot between soft and stiff options, making them an incredibly versatile choice for both beginner and experienced RC enthusiasts. The 14mm barrel diameter provides excellent structural integrity whilst remaining light enough to avoid unnecessary unsprung weight that could compromise handling dynamics. At 70mm in extended length, these springs integrate seamlessly with Axial suspension designs, providing optimal geometry and ride height consistency. The medium green colour coding helps you quickly identify the spring rate when switching between different setups or managing multiple RC vehicles. Construction quality meets Axial's high manufacturing standards, with consistent material properties ensuring that the pair delivers matched performance. Whether you're tuning for high-speed bashing, technical rock crawling, or competitive racing, these springs provide the foundation for excellent suspension performance. The 2.85lbs/in rate strikes an excellent balance: stiff enough to prevent excessive body roll and maintain control during aggressive driving, yet compliant enough to soak up impacts and maintain tyre contact on uneven terrain. For UK RC enthusiasts working in variable weather and terrain conditions, this spring rate offers genuine versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2.85lbs/in spring rate mean and how does it compare to other options? — The spring rate indicates how much force is required to compress the spring by one inch. A 2.85lbs/in rate is considered medium; softer springs (lower numbers) compress more easily for a compliant ride over rough terrain, whilst stiffer springs (higher numbers) resist compression for more responsive handling and reduced body roll. This medium rating makes these springs excellent for general-purpose use across various driving styles and terrain types.
- Can I use these springs on different RC models or just Axial vehicles? — Whilst these springs are engineered as Axial components with OEM specifications, compatibility depends on your specific vehicle's suspension design. We recommend checking your RC model's documentation or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility before purchase.
- Why is it important to replace springs in pairs? — Springs lose their rate over time due to material fatigue and continuous compression cycles. Replacing both springs simultaneously ensures your suspension has balanced compliance on both sides, preventing uneven handling characteristics and potential instability. Mixing old and new springs creates asymmetrical suspension behaviour that degrades handling performance.
- How often should I replace my RC suspension springs? — Spring replacement frequency depends on usage intensity, terrain difficulty, and storage conditions. Springs used in demanding rock crawling or competitive racing may need replacement more frequently than those used for casual bashing. Inspect your springs regularly for visible damage, cracks, or reduced ride height, which all indicate replacement is needed.
- What makes Axial suspension components different from aftermarket alternatives? — Axial Racing designs and manufactures these springs to precise OEM specifications that integrate perfectly with their vehicles' suspension geometry. Factory components like these ensure perfect fitment, guaranteed spring rate accuracy, and seamless compatibility with your vehicle's overall suspension setup.
