Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas Component — These are authentic factory springs manufactured by Traxxas, ensuring perfect compatibility with your specific RC model and guaranteed performance standards that aftermarket alternatives cannot match.
- 1.029 Rate Specification — The spring rate of 1.029 defines the stiffness and compression characteristics of these springs, making them suitable for specific Traxxas models and driving conditions, allowing you to fine-tune suspension geometry for better handling.
- Red Colour Identification — The distinctive red colour helps you quickly identify these springs during maintenance, tuning adjustments and suspension work, reducing confusion when managing multiple spring rates in your spares box.
- Pair of Two Springs — This package includes both shock springs needed to service a complete front or rear suspension setup, meaning you have everything required for a single suspension corner or one complete axle depending on your model.
- Direct OEM Replacement — As an official Traxxas part, these springs are designed as a direct replacement for worn or damaged springs on compatible models, guaranteeing exact fit and performance without modification.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Shock springs wear over time through use, affecting ride height and handling characteristics, making replacement springs a critical maintenance item for serious RC car owners in the UK.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Springs, shock (Red) (1.029 rate) (2) TRX9361 represent Traxxas's commitment to quality suspension components that define how your RC car interacts with the ground. Shock springs are precision-engineered metal components that compress and extend to absorb impacts from terrain, bumps, jumps and rough surfaces. The 1.029 rate specification indicates a medium spring stiffness that balances comfort over small bumps with stability during aggressive driving and cornering. Traxxas designs these springs using high-quality steel that resists fatigue and maintains consistent performance across thousands of compression cycles. The red colour-coding system used by Traxxas helps drivers and mechanics identify spring rates at a glance, which is invaluable when tuning multiple vehicles or managing various suspension setups. These genuine factory springs ensure that your Traxxas RC model maintains its engineered ride height, suspension geometry and handling characteristics exactly as the designers intended. Over time, springs lose their temper through repeated compression and may develop a lower rate or uneven compression characteristics, which is why regular inspection and replacement is important for serious RC enthusiasts. Having a set of spare springs readily available means you can quickly restore your RC car's performance without waiting for parts to arrive, keeping your vehicle on the track or trail where it belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Traxxas RC models are these shock springs compatible with? — These TRX9361 springs are designed as replacement components for specific Traxxas models. You should consult your vehicle's manual or parts diagram to confirm compatibility, as Traxxas produces many different models with different suspension designs. Always verify the part number against your manual before ordering.
- How often should I replace my RC shock springs? — Shock springs typically last hundreds of hours of driving before they begin to lose their stiffness characteristics. If you notice your RC car sitting lower than usual, experiencing poor handling over bumps, or if the springs visibly appear bent or damaged, it's time to replace them. Regular inspection during routine maintenance helps catch worn springs early.
- What does the 1.029 rate mean? — The rate specification indicates the spring's stiffness measured in kilogrammes per centimetre of compression. A 1.029 rate spring is considered relatively soft to medium, providing good all-round performance for mixed driving conditions. Stiffer springs (higher rate numbers) are better for high-speed racing and rough terrain, whilst softer springs provide better grip and comfort over small bumps.
- Are these genuine Traxxas springs or aftermarket? — These are genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Traxxas springs supplied with the part number TRX9361. Genuine factory springs ensure perfect compatibility, consistent quality and performance standards that match your vehicle's design specification.
- How do I install these shock springs? — Shock spring replacement requires removing the shock body from your RC model, then carefully extracting the old spring and installing the new one. This is straightforward maintenance that most RC enthusiasts can perform with basic tools, though consulting your model's manual is recommended for step-by-step guidance.
- Can I use these springs on models other than Traxxas? — These springs are designed specifically for Traxxas models and feature Traxxas-specific dimensions. Using them on non-Traxxas vehicles may result in poor fit, incorrect suspension geometry and handling problems. Always use springs designed for your specific vehicle.
- What is the difference between red, blue and other colour springs? — Traxxas uses colour-coding to identify different spring rates. Each colour corresponds to a specific stiffness specification. Red springs like these TRX9361 have the 1.029 rate, whilst other colours indicate different rates. This system makes it easy to identify and select the correct springs for your setup.
