Overview
The Axial Spring 12.5x35mm 1.79lbs Red Springs (2) Z-AXI31607 is an essential replacement suspension component for RC enthusiasts and serious hobbyists across the UK. These high-quality springs are engineered to deliver consistent performance and reliability on your RC crawler or scale model vehicle. Whether you're maintaining your RC car UK setup or fine-tuning your suspension geometry for competitive racing, having the correct spring rate is crucial to achieving optimal handling characteristics and ride quality.
Suspension springs are fundamental to any RC vehicle's performance envelope. They control how your model compresses and extends over terrain, directly affecting traction, stability, and overall driving response. The 12.5mm diameter and 35mm length of these springs make them compatible with a wide range of Axial models, whilst the 1.79lbs spring rate provides the stiffness needed for precise vehicle control. These replacement springs are ideal for RC enthusiasts who want to maintain their vehicles at peak performance or experiment with different suspension setups to optimise their driving experience.
As a genuine Axial component, these springs represent the same engineering standards and quality control that professional RC racers and weekend bashers depend upon. Whether you're upgrading your RC model spares collection or replacing worn suspension components after intensive use, these red springs deliver the durability and consistency that comes from an authorised manufacturer.
Key Features
- Correct Spring Rate — The 1.79lbs specification ensures your suspension responds appropriately to terrain, preventing excessive bottoming out whilst maintaining sufficient compliance for traction and comfort on uneven surfaces.
- Pair of Springs Included — You receive two springs in this pack, allowing you to maintain balanced suspension geometry across the front or rear of your RC vehicle, or to replace a complete axle's worth of components in one purchase.
- Bright Red Colour — The distinctive red finish makes these springs easy to identify during maintenance and allows quick visual inspection of your suspension setup whilst working on your RC model.
- Genuine Axial Component — Manufactured by Axial, these springs meet the same specifications and quality standards as original equipment, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance with your RC car UK setup.
- 12.5mm Diameter Construction — The diameter specification ensures these springs fit correctly into compatible Axial suspension systems, providing reliable mounting and preventing fitment issues.
- 35mm Length — The length measurement is critical for suspension geometry and determines how your springs interface with shock absorbers and suspension arms in your RC model.
Technical Performance
These Axial springs are precision-engineered suspension components manufactured to exact specifications that ensure compatibility with specific Axial RC model ranges. The 1.79lbs spring rate represents a moderate stiffness level suitable for general purpose RC driving, off-road crawling, and scale driving scenarios. Spring rate is measured in pounds per inch of compression, and this rating indicates how much force is required to compress the spring by one inch. A 1.79lbs rate is ideal for vehicles that need to maintain consistent ground contact whilst absorbing impacts from obstacles and rough terrain. The 12.5mm diameter provides optimal lateral stability whilst the 35mm length ensures proper suspension travel and geometry. The red colour finish not only provides easy identification but also indicates these are performance-level components suitable for regular maintenance and tuning work. These springs work in conjunction with shock absorbers and other suspension components to create a complete system that handles acceleration, braking, cornering, and obstacle navigation effectively. Quality suspension springs are essential for maintaining vehicle control, preventing chassis damage from bottoming out, and ensuring predictable handling characteristics across varying terrain types.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these springs fit my Axial RC car UK model? — These springs are manufactured by Axial and specified as Z-AXI31607. To confirm compatibility with your specific model, consult your vehicle's parts diagram or contact our team of experienced RC enthusiasts who can help identify which Axial platforms use this component. Springs are often interchangeable across multiple models within a manufacturer's range, but verification is recommended before purchase.
- What does the 1.79lbs spring rate mean and why does it matter? — The 1.79lbs rating indicates the spring stiffness, measured in pounds of force required to compress the spring by one inch. A lighter spring rate compresses more easily for comfort and traction on smooth surfaces, whilst heavier rates maintain ride height and control on aggressive terrain. The 1.79lbs rate is a moderate specification suitable for general off-road driving and provides a balanced compromise between compliance and control.
- How often should I replace my RC suspension springs? — Springs gradually lose their stiffness over time due to metal fatigue, particularly if your vehicle sees regular use or aggressive driving. If you notice your RC model sitting lower to the ground, rolling excessively through corners, or bottoming out on obstacles more frequently, it's time to replace the springs. Regular maintenance prevents suspension damage and maintains optimal vehicle performance.
- Are these springs part of a complete suspension kit or do I need other components? — These springs are individual replacement components designed to work within your existing suspension system. You'll need compatible shock absorbers, suspension arms, and mounting hardware to create a complete suspension assembly. These springs typically replace worn or damaged originals in an existing setup rather than providing a complete system overhaul.
- What is the difference between 1.79lbs and other spring rates available for Axial models? — Different spring rates allow tuning of suspension geometry and feel. Lighter rates (below 1.79lbs) provide softer, more compliant suspension ideal for uneven terrain and comfort-focused driving. Heavier rates (above 1.79lbs) provide stiffer suspension for more aggressive driving, higher-speed racing, and maintaining consistent ride height under load. Experimenting with different rates helps optimise your RC vehicle's performance for specific driving styles and terrain types.
