For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to dial in their setup, these springs represent a reliable choice from a manufacturer with decades of experience in RC technology and competition-grade engineering.
Team Associated has built a reputation for producing components that perform in the most demanding conditions, from carpet tracks to outdoor terrain. The AS91841 springs are part of an extensive ecosystem of genuine Associated parts designed to work seamlessly with multiple models across the RC10 range and other compatible platforms. Whether you're running your RC car on British club tracks, outdoor grass circuits, or practising for competitions, having access to genuine replacement springs ensures you can maintain your vehicle in peak condition and experiment with different setups to suit various surfaces and your personal driving preferences.
Key Features
- 2.30 lb/in Spring Rate — This specific spring constant defines how much resistance the spring provides to compression, making it a key tuning parameter that affects how your RC car responds to bumps, weight transfer during cornering, and overall suspension compliance, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's handling characteristics to match track conditions and your driving style.
- 61mm Length — The L61mm dimension indicates these springs are sized to fit the rear shock towers of compatible Team Associated models, ensuring proper installation and correct suspension geometry that maintains ride height and angle of attack for optimal performance.
- Yellow Colour Coding — Team Associated uses a colour-coded spring system to help drivers quickly identify spring rates without measuring or calculations; the yellow colour corresponds to the 2.30 lb/in rate, making it easy to match springs during setup and maintenance.
- Genuine OEM Component — As authentic Team Associated parts, these springs are manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards used in the factory kits, ensuring compatibility and performance you can rely on during competition and casual RC driving.
- Compact Design — The straightforward construction of these springs makes them an accessible tuning option, suitable for incremental suspension adjustments during setup and maintenance without requiring complex tools or specialised knowledge.
- Wide Vehicle Compatibility — These springs fit numerous Team Associated models including the RC10B6.3, RC10B6.3D, RB10, RC10B64, RC10B64D, RC10B6.1, RC10B6.1D, RC10T6.1, RC10SC6.1, RC10B74, RC10B6.1DL, RC10B6.2, RC10B6.2D, RC10B74.1, and RC10B74.1D, making them a versatile addition to any Associated enthusiast's spares box.
- Suspension Balance Tuning — Using these springs strategically on the rear helps you adjust the overall suspension balance to suit surface grip levels, driving conditions, and your personal driving preferences, contributing to improved handling consistency across different environments.
Technical Performance
The Team Associated Rear Shock Springs represent the engineering approach that has made Associated one of the world's most respected RC manufacturers. These springs are manufactured with precision to ensure consistent spring rates across multiple units, which is essential when you're making comparative setup changes during tuning sessions. The 2.30 lb/in rate sits in the medium-compliance range, making it suitable for varied track conditions and driving styles. The 61mm length has been engineered to work within the suspension geometry of the specified Team Associated models, maintaining proper ride height and shock angle to preserve the designed suspension kinematics. Whether you're running on indoor carpet tracks popular throughout the UK, outdoor clay or asphalt circuits, or practising on grass areas, having precision spring components allows you to dial in your RC car's behaviour. The yellow colour coding system used by Team Associated eliminates guesswork when managing multiple springs for different conditions or when setting up multiple vehicles. These springs are essential maintenance items that should be inspected regularly for signs of fatigue, particularly if you're racing competitively, as worn springs will no longer deliver their designed spring rate and can compromise handling consistency. When combined with complementary shock absorber components and proper setup knowledge, these springs form a critical part of the suspension tuning triangle that also includes shock damping and anti-roll bar stiffness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What Team Associated models are compatible with the AS91841 rear shock springs? — These springs fit a comprehensive range of Team Associated vehicles including the RC10B6.3, RC10B6.3D, RB10, RC10B64, RC10B64D, RC10B6.1, RC10B6.1D, RC10T6.1, RC10SC6.1, RC10B74, RC10B6.1DL, RC10B6.2, RC10B6.2D, RC10B74.1, and RC10B74.1D. Before purchasing, check your vehicle's documentation or contact our knowledgeable team to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
- What does the 2.30 lb/in spring rate mean and how does it affect my RC car's handling? — The spring rate, measured in pounds per inch (lb/in), indicates how much force is required to compress the spring by one inch. A 2.30 lb/in rate means relatively soft compliance; softer springs provide more shock absorption on bumpy surfaces but may allow more body roll during cornering, whilst stiffer springs offer more support but less compliance on rough terrain. Choosing the right spring rate depends on your track surface, driving style, and personal preference.
- How do I know which spring rate to use for different track conditions? — Generally, softer springs (lower lb/in rating) work better on rough, bumpy surfaces as they absorb impact energy more effectively, whilst stiffer springs (higher lb/in rating) suit smoother tracks and provide more responsive handling during aggressive cornering. The 2.30 lb/in rate in this pack suits medium-grip surfaces and versatile driving. Team Associated publishes spring colour code guides to help you understand the full range of available rates.
- What is the yellow colour code indicating in Team Associated's spring system? — Team Associated uses a standardised colour-coding system to identify different spring rates quickly and easily. Yellow indicates a 2.30 lb/in spring rate. This system eliminates confusion when you're managing multiple springs or setting up different vehicles, and it allows you to match springs during maintenance without needing to measure or calculate rates manually.
- Can I use these rear springs on other RC car brands? — These springs are specifically designed for Team Associated vehicles and sized to fit Associated shock towers. Whilst some RC car brands may have similar spring mounting systems, we recommend using OEM parts for your specific vehicle to ensure proper fitment, correct suspension geometry, and optimal performance. Using incorrect springs can compromise handling and potentially damage your vehicle.
- How often should I replace my shock springs? — Shock springs can fatigue over time, especially with frequent use, competitive racing, or crashes. If you notice your RC car's suspension no longer feels as responsive, if it sits lower than usual, or if handling has changed, it may be time to replace your springs. Regular inspection of springs for visible damage, cracks, or loss of shape will help you determine when replacement is necessary.
- Are these springs suitable for beginners? — Yes, these springs are an excellent choice for RC enthusiasts at any skill level. The 2.30 lb/in rate is versatile enough to work across varied conditions, and understanding spring rates is an important part of learning RC suspension tuning. Our team at RC Model Shop can provide advice on selecting the right springs for your vehicle and driving style.
- What is the difference between yellow springs and other colour-coded springs? — Team Associated's colour-coded spring system allows quick identification of different spring rates. Yellow springs offer 2.30 lb/in compliance, but the manufacturer also produces springs in other colours representing different rates. Softer springs have lower lb/in values, whilst stiffer springs have higher values. Which colour you choose depends on your track conditions and tuning preferences.
