Technical Performance
The FMS 1:6 Jimny Rear Automobile Leaf Springs represent a crucial suspension component for the 1:6 scale Jimny platform. Leaf springs are fundamental to how an RC vehicle distributes weight, maintains ride height, and responds to terrain changes. The rear leaf springs specifically influence rear axle articulation, weight transfer during acceleration and braking, and overall vehicle stability when traversing obstacles. By utilising genuine FMS Hobby leaf springs, you ensure that your suspension geometry remains true to the design specifications that engineers at FMS Hobby optimised during the Jimny's development. The springs work in conjunction with your vehicle's shock absorbers and chassis to provide a balanced suspension setup capable of handling both smooth terrain and more challenging off-road conditions. Whether you're replacing worn components as part of regular maintenance, or you're experimenting with suspension tuning to optimise your vehicle's handling balance, these leaf springs are an essential part of your 1:6 scale RC toolkit. The engineering and manufacturing standards applied to these parts ensure they will withstand the repeated stresses and forces generated during typical RC driving sessions, from gentle crawling to more aggressive bashing styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly are leaf springs and why would I need to upgrade them? — Leaf springs are suspension components that support the weight of your RC vehicle and absorb impacts from terrain. Over time, they can fatigue and lose their original spring rate, affecting how your Jimny handles. Upgrading to fresh FMS springs restores optimal suspension performance and handling characteristics, allowing your vehicle to respond more predictably to driver input.
- Will these leaf springs fit my 1:6 Jimny directly without modification? — Yes, absolutely. These FMS-C1309 springs are purpose-engineered for the 1:6 Jimny platform and mount directly to your existing suspension points without any modification to the chassis or suspension mounting brackets. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience.
- How do I know if my Jimny's leaf springs need replacing? — Signs that your springs need attention include uneven ride height front to back, the vehicle sitting lower than it should, poor handling balance, or visible damage to the spring components. If your Jimny has been in use for an extended period, preventative replacement of leaf springs is good maintenance practice.
- Are these springs suitable for all driving styles? — Yes, these are genuine FMS replacement springs designed to work across a wide range of driving conditions and styles, from gentle crawling and scale driving to more aggressive bashing. They provide balanced performance suitable for most RC enthusiasts.
- What is FMS Hobby's warranty policy on parts? — FMS Hobby offers a 90-day warranty on parts from the date of delivery. Customers are also entitled to long-term official technician support. For complete details on warranty coverage and what is included, refer to the full FMS Hobby warranty policy.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
