Overview
The AXIAL Spring 14x70mm 1.43lbs/in in Purple is an essential replacement or upgrade component for RC enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability from their suspension systems. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK hobbyist running high-performance buggies, crawlers, or short-course trucks, quality springs are fundamental to achieving the perfect suspension setup that matches your driving style and terrain conditions. This genuine Axial Racing spare part represents the manufacturer's commitment to delivering suspension components that maintain consistent performance across multiple driving sessions and challenging environments.
These purple-coloured springs are specifically engineered to provide a spring rate of 1.43 lbs/in, making them ideal for drivers seeking a softer, more compliant suspension tune compared to stiffer alternatives. The 14mm diameter and 70mm length dimensions are precisely calculated to fit Axial RC models and work seamlessly within their suspension geometry. Whether you're upgrading worn springs, fine-tuning your suspension geometry for better handling, or building a complete custom suspension setup, these springs deliver the consistency and performance that competitive RC car UK enthusiasts and casual bashers alike depend upon. The set includes two springs, giving you everything needed to replace both sides of your RC vehicle's suspension system in one convenient package.
Sourcing genuine Axial Racing replacement parts like these springs ensures your RC buggy, crawler, or truck maintains optimal suspension performance and maintains the engineering tolerances that Axial designed into your vehicle. Suspension tuning is one of the most effective ways to improve handling characteristics, and having quality springs in the correct spring rates available allows you to experiment with setup without compromising build quality or durability. For UK RC enthusiasts committed to keeping their vehicles in peak condition, these authentic Axial springs represent reliable, proven performance.
Key Features
- Precise Spring Rate of 1.43 lbs/in — This specific spring constant is engineered to provide a softer suspension feel, allowing your RC vehicle to maintain better traction over rough terrain and absorb impacts more effectively, resulting in improved handling consistency and reduced jarring on the chassis and components during hard driving sessions.
- 14mm Diameter Construction — The 14mm diameter specification is critical for ensuring the springs fit correctly within your Axial RC model's suspension mounting points and work harmoniously with the suspension arms, shocks, and geometry for which they were designed.
- 70mm Length — The precise 70mm length ensures proper suspension travel and maintains the correct ride height and suspension angles that your RC vehicle requires for optimal performance and predictable handling characteristics.
- Genuine Axial Racing Component — These are authentic Axial Racing spare parts manufactured to the same standards and tolerances as the original springs that came with your RC model, guaranteeing compatibility, durability, and performance consistency that you can rely upon.
- Set of Two Springs — The package includes two springs, providing both the left and right side suspension components you need to complete a full suspension upgrade or replacement, eliminating the need to purchase multiple sets or search for matching pairs.
- Purple Colour Identification — The distinctive purple colour makes it easy to identify the spring rate at a glance, helping you keep track of your suspension setup and maintain organised spare parts collection for different driving conditions and vehicle configurations.
- Compatible with Multiple Axial Models — These suspension springs are designed to work across Axial's range of RC vehicles, including crawlers, buggies, and rock bouncers, making them a versatile addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts inventory.
Technical Performance
Suspension tuning represents one of the most important aspects of RC vehicle setup, and the quality of individual components like springs directly impacts overall vehicle performance and handling characteristics. The AXIAL Spring 14x70mm with its 1.43 lbs/in spring rate is engineered using high-quality steel and precision manufacturing processes that ensure consistent spring behaviour across multiple compression and extension cycles. The softer spring rate makes these particularly suitable for drivers prioritising traction and impact absorption over maximum stiffness, allowing the suspension to work more actively through obstacles and uneven terrain. The 14mm diameter provides the structural rigidity needed for repeated use whilst the 70mm length ensures proper suspension geometry and travel. For UK RC car enthusiasts running everything from backyard bashers to competitive course setups, having genuine Axial suspension springs in your spares collection means you can quickly adapt your vehicle's handling characteristics to different track conditions, driving styles, or weather variations. The engineering tolerances and material quality of genuine Axial components ensure that when you install these springs, you're not compromising performance or durability, allowing you to focus on driving and enjoying your RC experience rather than worrying about component reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a 1.43 lbs/in spring rate mean for my RC suspension? — The spring rate measurement indicates how much force is required to compress the spring by one inch. A 1.43 lbs/in rating is considered a softer spring rate, meaning it requires less force to compress and will provide a more compliant, forgiving suspension feel that absorbs impacts better and maintains traction over rough or uneven terrain compared to stiffer spring options.
- Which Axial RC models are compatible with these 14x70mm springs? — These springs are designed to fit Axial's range of RC vehicles featuring the compatible suspension mounting geometry. If you're unsure whether these springs will fit your specific model, we recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our expert team at RC Model Shop who can advise on compatibility with your particular RC model.
- How do I know when to replace my RC suspension springs? — Springs may need replacement when they lose their ability to return to their original length after compression, when they become bent or damaged, or when you want to adjust your vehicle's handling characteristics by changing to a different spring rate. Regular inspection during maintenance checks helps identify springs that are no longer performing optimally.
- Can I mix different spring rates on my RC vehicle? — Whilst it's technically possible, most RC drivers prefer to maintain matched spring rates front and rear, or adjust rates in pairs to maintain balanced, predictable handling. Mixing significantly different spring rates can create unpredictable handling characteristics. If you're experimenting with suspension tuning, we recommend adjusting one pair at a time to understand how changes affect your vehicle's performance.
- Why would I choose a 1.43 lbs/in spring over stiffer alternatives? — Softer springs like these provide advantages for certain driving conditions and styles: they maintain better contact with uneven ground, absorb larger impacts more effectively, provide more compliant handling in rock crawling situations, and work better in conditions where traction is prioritised over maximum speed stability. Stiffer springs suit high-speed running and jumps better.
- Are these genuine Axial Racing parts? — Yes, these springs are authentic Axial Racing components manufactured to original equipment specifications, ensuring they meet the same quality standards, tolerances, and performance expectations as the springs originally supplied with your RC vehicle.
