Overview
The TLR Front Springs, Blue, Low Frequency 12mm (2) represent professional-grade suspension tuning components designed specifically for the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE 1/10 Scale 2WD RC Buggy. These replacement springs are engineered to the same specifications that Team Losi Racing's factory race team uses to win RC races around the world. Whether you're competing at the highest level or enjoying recreational RC racing on dirt and clay tracks, these front springs deliver the precision handling characteristics that have made the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE recognised as the best-driving 2WD competition buggy that Team Losi Racing has ever designed.
Replacement springs are essential maintenance items for any serious RC racer in the UK. The suspension components on your TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE get pushed to the limit during competition, and over time, springs can lose their responsiveness or become damaged from the stress of vibration, crashes, and landing impacts. Having a spare set of front springs in your pit box ensures you're always prepared to maintain peak performance and make suspension adjustments between races. The blue colour variant allows you to customise your suspension setup while maintaining the high-performance standard that TLR is known for.
These low frequency 12mm springs work in harmony with the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE's renowned G3 12mm Big Bore shocks, which are responsible for the plush handling and smooth high-speed performance that gives this buggy its competitive edge. The combination of quality springs and shocks allows the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE to deliver noticeably smoother high-speed and off-centre steering while improving steering response at low speeds for tighter tracks and 180-degree turns. If you're serious about RC buggy racing in the UK and want to maintain your TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE in championship form, these replacement front springs are an indispensable addition to your spares kit.
Key Features

- 12mm Diameter — The 12mm dimension matches the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE's G3 12mm Big Bore shock system, ensuring perfect compatibility and delivering the plush handling characteristics that set this buggy apart from competitors in 1/10 scale 2WD racing.

Technical Performance
The TLR Front Springs, Blue, Low Frequency 12mm (2) are precision-engineered suspension components that form a critical part of the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE's legendary handling characteristics. The low frequency spring rate has been specifically developed to complement the buggy's revamped steering geometry, which produces noticeably smoother high-speed and off-centre steering while also improving steering response at low speeds for tighter tracks and demanding 180-degree turns. These springs work in concert with the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE's G3 12mm Big Bore shocks to deliver the plush suspension feel that allows the buggy to maintain perfect balance when landing from jumps and prevent the bouncing that can upset your racing line. The 12mm diameter specification is specifically matched to the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE's shock architecture, ensuring optimal weight transfer and cornering performance on both clay and dirt racing surfaces. The blue colour variant is manufactured to identical performance specifications as other colour options in the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE front spring range, including the green and black variants, allowing you to build your preferred suspension setup regardless of aesthetic preference. The low frequency design ensures the springs deliver progressive compression rates that complement the 2.0mm milled aluminium chassis of the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE, which itself provides the perfect amount of flex and rigidity for smooth cornering and consistent performance across varying track conditions. TLR's precision manufacturing ensures each spring maintains its intended spring rate throughout its service life, critical for maintaining the suspension consistency that competitive RC racing demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What RC buggy are these front springs designed for? — These springs are specifically designed for the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE 1/10 Scale 2WD RC Buggy. They are manufactured to match the suspension geometry and shock architecture of this professional-grade race buggy platform.
- Are these springs suitable for beginners? — These are professional-level replacement springs designed for competitive RC racing. Whilst they are not exclusive to experienced drivers, they represent the suspension components used by TLR factory race teams, making them best suited to drivers who are actively tuning and racing their TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE. If you're new to RC racing and own this buggy, these springs are a good choice for maintaining proper suspension performance, though you may want to consult setup guides before making suspension adjustments.
- What does low frequency mean in RC spring specifications? — Low frequency refers to the spring rate or stiffness of the spring. A low frequency spring is softer and compresses more easily than high frequency springs, providing a more compliant, plush ride. This specification is tuned for the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE's geometry to deliver smooth handling and consistent performance, particularly at high speeds and when landing from jumps.
- Why would I need replacement front springs? — Springs are a critical wear item in RC racing. Over time, springs can lose their original spring rate due to repeated compression cycles, vibration, and stress from impacts. Additionally, springs can be damaged during crashes. Maintaining a spare set of front springs in your pit box allows you to make mid-race adjustments if needed and ensures your buggy performs consistently throughout your racing season.
- Do these springs come with any other shock components? — No, this package contains only the two front springs. You will need to install these springs onto your existing TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE shock bodies and assemblies. If you need complete shock assemblies or other shock components, TLR also offers shock bodies, shock pistons, spring cups, seal bushings, and complete 42mm shock sets as separate purchases.
- Are there other colour options available? — Yes, TLR manufactures these front springs in multiple colour variants including green (TLR233047) and black (TLR233049), all with identical low frequency 12mm specifications. The colour allows you to identify and organise different spring rates or simply match your buggy's colour scheme.
- How do I install these springs on my TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE? — These springs are installed onto the top of your shock bodies within the shock assembly. You will likely need spring cups (available separately as TLR233030) to secure the springs properly. Detailed installation instructions are available in the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE manual and on the TLR website's exploded view diagrams.
- Are these official TLR parts? — Yes, these are genuine Team Losi Racing manufactured replacement parts. All TLR replacement parts are made by Team Losi Racing and guaranteed to fit perfectly and perform as well as the original equipment springs included in your TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE kit.
