Overview
The Traxxas Spring, shock (Green) (3.7 rate) (2 pcs) TRX8362G is an essential suspension tuning component for RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand precision performance from their vehicles. Whether you're a serious competitor looking to fine-tune your setup or a weekend basher seeking to optimise your ride quality, these genuine Traxxas shock springs offer the quality and reliability you need. These replacement springs are specifically engineered to work with the Traxxas 4TEC 3.0 platform, making them an ideal choice for owners of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1/10 AWD Supercar models available in both black and silver finishes.
When you're building or maintaining your RC car, suspension tuning is one of the most critical aspects of achieving the perfect balance between speed, handling and comfort. The ability to swap springs of different rates allows you to adapt your vehicle's suspension characteristics to different track conditions, driving styles and chassis configurations. This pair of green-coded springs represents a 3.7 rate specification, giving you moderate stiffness that works well for a variety of driving scenarios on tarmac and light off-road surfaces. For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking ready to run RC cars or those looking to upgrade their existing vehicles, having access to genuine Traxxas replacement parts like these springs ensures you're maintaining the quality and performance that Traxxas is renowned for.
These shock springs come as a pair, so you'll have a complete set ready to install on your vehicle's suspension system. The precision engineering and high-quality materials used in their manufacture mean you can trust these springs to deliver consistent performance lap after lap, whether you're on the track or enjoying casual bashing sessions.

Technical Performance
Understanding suspension springs is crucial for anyone serious about RC car performance. The spring rate—in this case 3.7—indicates the stiffness of the spring, measured in pounds per inch of compression. A higher rate means a stiffer spring that resists compression more strongly, whilst a lower rate provides softer, more compliant suspension. The 3.7 rate offered here strikes an excellent balance, making these springs suitable for drivers who want responsive handling without sacrificing comfort or ground contact. The high-quality spring steel used in construction ensures that these springs maintain their rate consistency over thousands of compression cycles, a critical factor in maintaining predictable handling characteristics. The powder-coated finish serves a dual purpose: it protects the underlying steel from corrosion caused by moisture and salt, which is especially important for UK RC drivers who may encounter damp conditions, and it provides clear visual identification of the spring rate. When paired with short Ultra Shocks on your 4TEC 3.0, these springs will deliver the precise suspension geometry that Traxxas engineers calibrated for optimal performance across the platform. The ability to swap spring rates gives you fine-grained control over your vehicle's behaviour, allowing you to adjust for different track surfaces, weather conditions, or driving preferences without major chassis modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What spring rate should I choose for my Traxxas 4TEC 3.0? — The 3.7 rate offered here is a versatile mid-range option that works well for most drivers and conditions. If you find your car is too soft and bouncy, a stiffer spring rate will help. If it feels too harsh and loses grip, a softer rate may be better. Experimenting with different rates is part of the tuning process that makes RC cars so enjoyable.
- How do I know which spring rate I need? — The colour coding on the powder-coated springs makes identification easy. The green colour of these 3.7-rate springs clearly distinguishes them from other rates. If you're upgrading from a different rate, compare your current springs' specifications to determine what change you need.
- Are these springs compatible with all Traxxas vehicles? — These springs are specifically designed for the Traxxas 4TEC 3.0 platform and compatible with both the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1/10 AWD Supercar in black and silver finishes. They fit short Ultra Shocks, so check your vehicle's shock specification before purchasing.
- Why would I need replacement shock springs? — Springs can lose their rate consistency over time due to repeated compression cycles, or you may simply want to experiment with different rates to optimise your vehicle's handling for specific conditions or driving styles. Having spare springs on hand means you can quickly test different setups without waiting for delivery.
- How often should I replace my shock springs? — With proper care, quality springs like these Traxxas components should last for many seasons of use. Replace them if you notice they're not returning to their original length quickly, or if your vehicle's handling has become inconsistent or unpredictable.
- Can I mix different spring rates on the same vehicle? — Whilst technically possible, mixing spring rates front and rear is an advanced tuning technique that should only be attempted if you understand suspension geometry. For beginners, it's best to use matching rates on both axles.
