Upgrading or replacing worn suspension components is one of the most effective ways to enhance your RC experience without purchasing a completely new vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Axial vehicles do these springs fit? — These replacement springs are engineered specifically for Axial Yeti and Wraith shock systems that utilise 10mm piston shocks, making them a direct replacement component for these popular RC crawler and monster truck models.
- What spring rate should I choose for my RC car UK setup? — Spring rate selection depends on your driving style, vehicle weight, and terrain. The 1.43 lbs/in rate in this pack provides a softer suspension ideal for rough terrain and crawling. Axial offers springs ranging from low through to high rates, so you can experiment to find the perfect setup for your driving preferences and local track conditions.
- How do I know if my springs need replacing? — Springs should be replaced if they show visible damage, have lost their original shape, or if your suspension feels less responsive than normal. Regular inspection of suspension components is part of responsible RC vehicle maintenance and ensures optimal performance and safety.
- Can I mix different spring rates on my vehicle? — While it's possible to run different rates on front and rear for specific handling characteristics, most drivers prefer matching spring rates for balanced and predictable handling. Consult your vehicle manual or an experienced RC enthusiast for tuning advice specific to your vehicle.
- What is the difference between 1.43 lbs/in and other spring rates? — Lower lbs/in ratings (like 1.43) create softer, more compliant suspension ideal for rough terrain and maximum traction. Higher ratings provide firmer, less compliant suspension suitable for smooth tracks and high-speed driving. Axial's colour coding system makes it easy to identify and select the rate that matches your driving style.
