Overview
The Traxxas Springs, shock (natural finish) (2) TRX10764 are genuine replacement shock springs designed specifically for the Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S, one of the most popular compact RC cars available in the UK. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running your Mini Maxx regularly or you've noticed your suspension feels less responsive than it once did, these replacement springs are essential maintenance items that will restore your vehicle's handling and performance to factory specifications. As an authorised Traxxas retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine Traxxas parts, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your ready to run RC model.
Shock springs are critical suspension components that work in conjunction with your dampers to manage weight transfer, maintain consistent ground contact, and provide the platform for fine-tuning your RC car's handling characteristics. Over time, springs can lose their tension through normal use, leading to sagging suspension, reduced cornering grip, and a less planted feel during high-speed running. The natural finish on these Traxxas springs means they come without any coating or colour treatment, making them a cost-effective replacement option that performs identically to the original factory springs on your Mini Maxx BL-2S. Available in a convenient two-pack, you'll have spare springs on hand or can replace both front and rear pairs in a single purchase.
RC car UK enthusiasts know that maintaining proper suspension geometry is vital for consistent performance, whether you're racing competitively, enjoying weekend bashing sessions, or exploring new terrain. The Mini Maxx BL-2S is known for its nimble handling and compact size, and keeping your suspension in top condition with genuine replacement parts like these shock springs will ensure you get the best from your brushless RC car investment.

- Suspension Maintenance — Replacing worn shock springs is one of the most important regular maintenance tasks for any ready to run RC car, ensuring consistent performance and protecting other suspension components from excessive wear.

Technical Performance
Shock springs are precision-engineered components that determine how your Mini Maxx BL-2S suspension responds to track inputs, bumps, and weight transfer during acceleration and cornering. The Traxxas Springs TRX10764 are manufactured to exact specifications matching the factory original springs, ensuring your RC car maintains its designed handling characteristics and suspension geometry. Spring tension gradually diminishes through normal use as the material experiences thousands of compression and extension cycles during driving sessions. By replacing your shock springs with these genuine Traxxas items, you restore the correct suspension height, ride frequency, and responsiveness that the Mini Maxx BL-2S engineers calibrated for optimal performance. The natural finish requires no special preparation before installation; simply remove the old springs and install the new ones using your standard RC car tools. These springs work in harmony with your shock dampers to control vertical movement, manage body roll during cornering, and maintain consistent tyre contact with the ground surface—critical factors for achieving competitive lap times or consistent bashing performance on any terrain. Whether you're running your ready to run RC car on smooth tarmac, dirt tracks, or rough grass, maintaining proper spring tension is fundamental to suspension geometry and handling predictability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shock springs compatible with all Mini Maxx BL-2S colour variants? — Yes, these genuine Traxxas springs are fully compatible with all Traxxas Mini Maxx BL-2S models regardless of colour, including the green, blue, black, and orange versions. The suspension design is identical across all colour options, so these springs fit perfectly and provide identical performance.
- How often should I replace my RC car shock springs? — Spring replacement frequency depends on how regularly you run your Mini Maxx BL-2S. If you notice your suspension sitting lower than usual, reduced responsiveness when turning, or inconsistent handling characteristics compared to when the car was new, these are clear signs that your springs have lost tension and need replacement. Most dedicated RC enthusiasts replace springs annually or every 50-100 hours of running time.
- What is the difference between natural finish and coloured springs? — Natural finish springs are bare metal without any protective coating or colour treatment, making them a more economical option. Coloured or coated springs offer visual matching to your chassis but cost more and provide identical performance. The actual spring rate and suspension characteristics are identical between natural and coloured versions.
- Will replacing shock springs improve my Mini Maxx BL-2S handling? — If your current springs have lost tension, replacing them with these genuine Traxxas springs will restore your car's suspension to factory specifications and improve handling significantly. You'll notice better cornering grip, more consistent weight transfer, and improved overall responsiveness compared to running on worn springs. However, if your springs are still in good condition, upgrading to different spring rates requires purchasing alternative springs specifically designed for tuning.
- Do I need any special tools to install these springs? — Spring replacement is straightforward and requires only basic RC car tools: a hex wrench or Allen key to remove shock bodies (if necessary), and possibly a spring compressor tool to make installation easier, though many users manage without one. Detailed installation guidance is available in your Mini Maxx BL-2S manual.
- Are these springs suitable for competitive racing use? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas original equipment springs suitable for all types of Mini Maxx BL-2S operation, from casual weekend bashing to competitive racing. Many UK RC racing clubs and events feature Mini Maxx BL-2S classes, and using genuine factory springs is always a reliable choice for consistent performance.
