Technical Performance
The Axial Spring 14x54mm 3.85lbs/in represents carefully engineered suspension technology developed by Axial Racing, a brand recognised for producing high-quality RC components. The 3.85lbs per inch spring rate strikes a middle ground in Axial's comprehensive spring range, which extends from low rates for softer suspension compliance through to high rates for firmer, more responsive setups. When paired with the 67-90mm shock body length of EXO shocks, these springs provide optimal compression and extension characteristics across various driving surfaces. The medium green colour coding is part of Axial's intuitive colour system, allowing users to quickly identify and differentiate between soft (red/white), medium (green), and firm (yellow) options. The 14mm coil diameter and 54mm overall length measurements are precision-engineered to work within the EXO suspension geometry, maintaining proper ride height and maintaining consistent performance as your RC vehicle operates. For drivers exploring suspension tuning on their RC car UK, switching between spring rates allows you to adjust how your vehicle responds to bumps, maintains traction, and handles during corners—all crucial elements of competitive and recreational RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Axial models are these springs compatible with? — These springs are designed exclusively for Axial EXO products, specifically as front shock upgrades. They come standard on the AXE 67-90mm Shock Set front shocks. Always verify your model is EXO-compatible before purchase.
- How do I know which spring rate to choose for my RC car? — Axial offers springs in multiple rates from soft through to firm. The 3.85lbs/in medium green option provides a balanced feel suitable for general driving. Softer springs (like the 3.4lbs/in white option) offer more comfort but less responsiveness, whilst firmer rates provide snappier handling but a stiffer ride. Choose based on your driving style and track conditions.
- Can I use these springs on the rear shocks? — No, these are front shock springs only. Axial produces separate rear shock springs—refer to the AX30092 for rear shock options, which may have different rates and dimensions.
- How often should I replace my RC springs? — Springs can lose their stiffness over time due to constant compression and extension. If you notice your vehicle sitting lower, feeling softer, or handling differently, it may be time to replace them with a fresh pair.
- Are these genuine Axial springs? — Yes, the Z-AX30228 is the official Axial part number, and purchasing from authorised RC retailers ensures you receive genuine components with proper engineering and quality control.
- What is the difference between soft, medium and firm springs? — Soft springs (lower lbs/in rating) compress more easily, providing a compliant ride over bumps but requiring more driver input. Medium springs like this 3.85lbs/in option offer balance. Firm springs resist compression, delivering responsive handling but transmitting more vibration to the chassis.
