Technical Performance
The Traxxas GTR shock springs represent professional-grade suspension components engineered for precision and durability. The 2.0-rate specification with double black stripe marking delivers medium-stiffness characteristics that provide an excellent balance between responsiveness and comfort across various driving conditions. The higher the spring rate, the stiffer the spring becomes, which means a 2.0-rate spring offers moderate resistance to compression, making it ideal for drivers who want controllable suspension that doesn't bottom out easily but still allows good vertical compliance for bump absorption. The construction from high-quality spring steel ensures the springs maintain their rated characteristics through thousands of compression cycles, whether you're pounding through rough terrain on a weekend bash or competing in precision racing events. The red powder-coated finish is applied using professional-grade techniques that provide both aesthetic appeal and functional corrosion resistance, protecting the steel substrate from salt spray and moisture that could degrade performance. The double black stripe marking system ensures you can instantly identify the spring rate visually, which is invaluable when managing multiple spring sets or troubleshooting suspension setup issues. These springs are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure consistency between the pair, eliminating any side-to-side handling imbalances that could compromise your RC car's performance. Whether you're upgrading from standard springs or replacing worn components on your existing RC vehicle, these GTR springs offer the professional quality and precision engineering that serious RC enthusiasts demand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does spring rate mean and how does it affect my RC car's handling? — Spring rate refers to how much force is required to compress the spring by a set distance. A 2.0-rate spring offers medium stiffness — higher rates are stiffer and lower rates are softer. The correct spring rate dramatically affects your car's suspension geometry, ride height, and how the chassis responds to bumps and track features. Stiffer springs reduce body roll but may skip over small bumps, whilst softer springs absorb impacts better but allow more body movement.
- How do I know what spring rate I need for my RC car? — The spring rate you need depends on your vehicle weight, driving style, track surface, and the suspension setup your specific RC car requires. Check your vehicle's manual for recommended spring rates, then experiment with different rates to find what works best for your conditions. The GTR range offers multiple rates so you can dial in the perfect setup for your needs.
- Are these genuine Traxxas springs or aftermarket copies? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas GTR springs manufactured to professional specifications. They come from authorised Traxxas dealers like RC Model Shop, ensuring you receive authentic components with full Traxxas quality assurance and support.
- Can I use these springs on any RC car or only on specific models? — These GTR springs are designed for 1/10 scale vehicles with compatible shock absorber mounting systems. Check your vehicle's documentation to confirm compatibility before purchasing, as different models may use different shock configurations.
- How often should I replace these springs? — With proper maintenance and normal use, these high-quality springs should last for hundreds of hours of driving. You may eventually notice the spring becoming softer or losing its initial rate, which indicates it's time for replacement. Inspect springs regularly for damage or permanent deformation.
- What is the difference between the double black stripe and other GTR spring rates? — The double black stripe is Traxxas's colour-coding system for identifying spring rates visually. Different rates (identified by different coloured stripes) offer different stiffness levels, allowing you to select the perfect rate for your specific application and driving conditions.
