Overview
The Traxxas Springs, shock (natural finish) (GTX) (3.097 rate) (2) TRX10944 are precision-engineered suspension components designed for serious RC enthusiasts who demand professional-grade performance tuning. These genuine Traxxas GTX shock springs are essential replacement parts for maintaining optimal suspension geometry and handling characteristics on compatible high-performance RC vehicles. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning your setup for championship performance or an experienced basher looking to optimise your RC car UK performance across different terrain conditions, these shock springs deliver the precision engineering that separates average setups from winning configurations.
Traxxas has established itself as a world-leading manufacturer of ready to run RC cars and RC car parts, and their GTX shock spring range represents the pinnacle of suspension tuning innovation. The natural finish construction provides durability whilst maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your RC vehicle's suspension system. These springs are offered in different rates to allow you to precisely tune your vehicle's suspension performance, whether you need to compensate for lighter or heavier vehicle configurations, adjust for different driving surfaces, or fine-tune your setup for competitive racing environments. The higher the spring rate number, the firmer the spring, allowing you to dial in the exact suspension stiffness your specific vehicle configuration requires.
If you're serious about RC performance and want to squeeze every ounce of speed and handling capability from your brushless RC car, shock spring selection is absolutely critical. The 3.097 rate specification of this pair gives you a medium-firm spring option suitable for a wide range of driving scenarios and vehicle weights. With a pair of two springs included, you'll have everything needed to replace both shocks and restore your suspension to factory specifications or experiment with different tuning combinations.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas GTX shock springs represent professional-grade suspension tuning components engineered to exacting specifications for consistent performance across varying conditions. The 3.097 rate classification positions these springs in the medium-firm range, making them ideal for drivers seeking balanced suspension characteristics that don't sacrifice either handling precision or shock absorption capability. The natural finish steel construction provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, essential for RC vehicles exposed to outdoor elements and varying weather conditions common in the UK. These springs work in conjunction with Traxxas GTX shock absorbers to create a sophisticated suspension system capable of handling aggressive driving styles, high-speed runs, and technical track courses. The spring rate directly influences suspension stiffness—a critical factor affecting your RC vehicle's responsiveness, traction, body roll characteristics, and overall stability. Whether you're running your brushless RC car on off-road terrain, racing on prepared tracks, or bashing through natural landscapes, selecting the correct spring rate ensures your suspension geometry maintains proper ride height, prevents excessive body squat during acceleration, and maintains optimal tyre contact with the driving surface. These genuine OEM Traxxas springs meet the same quality standards and specifications used in factory-built vehicles and professional racing setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Traxxas shock springs compatible with? — These GTX shock springs are designed for Traxxas vehicles equipped with compatible GTX shock absorbers. Verify your vehicle model uses GTX shocks before ordering to ensure correct fitment and performance.
- How do I know which spring rate to choose for my RC car? — Spring rate selection depends on your vehicle's weight configuration, driving style, and terrain conditions. The 3.097 rate provides a medium-firm option suitable for most drivers. Heavier vehicles may benefit from stiffer springs, whilst lighter configurations might prefer softer springs. Experiment with different rates to find the optimal setup for your specific RC vehicle and driving preferences.
- Why would I need replacement shock springs? — Springs wear over time with regular use, potentially losing their original stiffness characteristics and affecting your vehicle's handling performance. Springs may also become damaged from impacts or crashes. Replacement springs restore your suspension system to proper working condition and allow you to experiment with different tuning configurations.
- Can these springs help improve my RC car's handling? — Yes, selecting the appropriate spring rate significantly influences your vehicle's handling characteristics, stability, traction, and overall performance. These springs allow fine-tuning to match your driving style and conditions, potentially improving lap times and handling feel.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX10944 is an authentic OEM Traxxas component, ensuring compatibility with your vehicle and meeting manufacturer specifications for performance and durability.
- How many springs do I need? — This package includes a pair of two springs, providing both front and rear suspension coverage for most Traxxas vehicles. Some drivers maintain spare springs for racing events or experimentation.
