Overview
The Team Associated 13MM Rear Shock Springs in red are premium suspension tuning components designed for RC car enthusiasts across the UK who demand precise handling control and customisable performance. Whether you're a seasoned competitor running an RC buggy or a weekend basher looking to fine-tune your RC car's suspension response, these rear shock springs offer the perfect solution for tailoring your vehicle's suspension characteristics to match your preferred driving style and track conditions. As an authorised Team Associated retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine spare parts that help you optimise your RC car's setup without compromising on quality or reliability.
These 13mm rear shock springs are specifically engineered for Team Associated vehicles such as the RC10T84, making them an essential upgrade or replacement component for drivers who understand that suspension tuning is the key to unlocking your RC vehicle's full potential. The colour-coded red finish denotes the specific spring rate, making it instantly recognisable in your spares box and preventing confusion during setup changes. If you're serious about getting the best performance from your RC car, understanding spring rates and how they affect your vehicle's behaviour is crucial, and these genuine Team Associated springs are manufactured to exact specifications to ensure consistency and reliability.
Suspension tuning is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your RC car's handling without expensive upgrades, and having a selection of different spring rates on hand allows you to quickly adapt to changing track conditions or different driving environments. These rear shock springs are trusted by RC enthusiasts throughout the UK who know that Team Associated components deliver the precision engineering and quality that serious RC competitors demand.
Key Features
- 2.4 lb/in Spring Rate — The spring rate is a critical specification that determines how stiffly the suspension compresses under load; a 2.4 lb/in rate provides a specific balance suited to 13mm shock applications, making it ideal for drivers who have identified this rate as optimal for their setup or track conditions.
- 13mm Shock Compatibility — These springs are precisely engineered to fit 13mm rear shock bodies, ensuring perfect fitment and consistent performance without modification or adaptation required.
- Colour-Coded Design — The distinctive red finish serves as a visual identifier of the spring rate, which is standard practice in the RC hobby and prevents mistakes during setup changes when you may be switching between different spring rates.
- L61 Designation — This specification refers to the spring length and internal specifications, ensuring compatibility with vehicles designed for L61 springs such as the RC10T84.
- Pack Quantity of Two — Each package contains two springs, which is the standard quantity needed for rear axle replacement or when maintaining spare sets for different track conditions.
- Genuine Team Associated Component — Manufactured by Team Associated, a recognised leader in high-performance RC vehicles, these springs meet factory specifications and quality standards that serious RC enthusiasts depend upon.
- Precision Engineering — Team Associated suspension components are engineered with tight tolerances to ensure consistent performance across multiple units, meaning your spare springs will perform identically to your originals.
Technical Performance
The 13mm rear shock springs represent the kind of precision engineering that separates Team Associated components from generic aftermarket alternatives. With a spring rate of 2.4 lb/in and designed specifically for 13mm shock applications, these springs are engineered to provide consistent, predictable suspension behaviour across a range of driving conditions. The spring rate directly influences how your RC car responds to acceleration, braking, cornering and track undulation, making it a fundamental tuning parameter that affects everything from overall handling balance to tyre grip and wear patterns. The L61 length specification ensures proper mounting within standard Team Associated suspension systems, while the internal spring characteristics (9.25t and 1.2d specifications from the manufacturer) define the wire gauge and spring properties that deliver the advertised rate. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK who understand that suspension setup is where competitive advantage is gained, having exact replacement springs that match factory specifications is essential for maintaining baseline performance or executing controlled setup experiments. Whether you're replacing worn springs, creating a spare setup for a different track configuration, or building a dedicated tuning kit with various spring rates, these Team Associated springs deliver the engineering precision and consistency that your RC vehicle deserves. The colour-coding system used by Team Associated makes it simple to identify spring rates at a glance, reducing the risk of setup errors and streamlining the tuning process when you're preparing for competition or testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the 2.4 lb/in spring rate mean? — Spring rate describes how much force is required to compress the spring by one inch; a 2.4 lb/in rate means this spring requires 2.4 pounds of force to compress one inch, making it suitable for specific weight distributions and driving styles on RC10T84 vehicles and similar platforms.
- How do I know if 2.4 lb/in is the right spring rate for my RC car? — The ideal spring rate depends on your vehicle's weight, the track surface, your driving style and the weather conditions; if you're experiencing excessive body roll or poor traction, you may need stiffer springs, whilst if the car feels too stiff or bouncy, softer springs may help; this product is designed for RC10T84 vehicles and owners of that platform who have determined that 2.4 lb/in is their preferred rate.
- Are these springs suitable for beginners? — These are OEM replacement springs for the RC10T84, making them suitable for any RC10T84 owner regardless of experience level; however, understanding suspension tuning is an intermediate skill, so if you're new to RC cars, you may benefit from reading setup guides or seeking advice from experienced competitors at your local RC club.
- What vehicles do these springs fit? — These 13mm rear shock springs are designed to fit the Team Associated RC10T84; they may also be compatible with other Team Associated vehicles that use 13mm shocks with L61 length specifications, but fitment should always be confirmed before purchase.
- Can I mix and match spring rates? — Whilst it's technically possible to run different spring rates front and rear, or to experiment with mixed rates, this is an advanced tuning technique that affects handling balance; most drivers use matched spring rates across an axle unless deliberately tuning for specific handling characteristics.
- How often should I replace my shock springs? — Shock springs don't typically wear out in the traditional sense, but repeated compression cycles can cause them to lose their original characteristics over time; if you notice your suspension feeling less responsive or bouncy, or if your springs have been in use for many seasons of heavy racing, replacement springs are a worthwhile investment.
- What is the difference between these and standard aftermarket springs? — Team Associated original equipment springs are engineered to exact factory specifications with tight manufacturing tolerances, ensuring consistent performance and perfect fitment; genuine OEM springs maintain baseline performance characteristics and are ideal for maintaining your vehicle's original setup or creating identical spares for backup vehicles.
