Key Features

• Factory Team Genuine Component — This is an official Team Associated Factory Team part, meaning it has been engineered and tested by the manufacturer themselves to work perfectly with your Reflex 14B or 14T, ensuring compatibility and reliability that you simply cannot guarantee with generic aftermarket springs.
• 10mm Shock Sizing — Built specifically around 10mm shock proportions, this set matches the shock tower and suspension geometry of the Reflex 14 platform, ensuring proper spring seating, correct preload application, and optimal suspension travel without modifications.
• Front Suspension Tuning — Front-end suspension geometry has a dramatic impact on handling characteristics including turn-in response, mid-corner stability and braking traction; having dedicated front spring options lets you fine-tune these critical performance parameters independently from rear suspension settings.
• Suspension Performance Maintenance — Over time, suspension springs lose their original spring rates through fatigue and use; having access to genuine replacement springs ensures you can restore your Reflex 14 to its original handling characteristics or adjust them for different track layouts and driving styles.
• Track-Tuning Capability — Different track surfaces, ambient temperatures and racing conditions demand different suspension setups; this spring set provides you with the means to maintain consistent front-end performance whether you're racing on carpet, clay or other surfaces.
• Part of Complete Factory Team Ecosystem — This spring set is one of twelve new Factory Team parts released for the Reflex 14B and 14T platform, allowing you to build a complete factory-approved competition setup including shock towers, shock bodies, shock caps, wheel hexes, drive gears, anti-roll bars and titanium turnbuckles.

Technical Performance

The Reflex 14B and 14T are purpose-built 1/14 scale competition platforms that demand high-quality suspension components to achieve their full potential. The front suspension system utilises 10mm diameter shocks, a size that has proven itself across countless racing applications for balancing responsive handling with durability. Spring rate selection is critical in RC suspension tuning because it directly affects how the vehicle responds to track irregularities, acceleration, braking and cornering inputs. The Team Associated Factory Team 10mm front spring set has been developed with the same engineering rigour that goes into the main platform, ensuring that spring rates, material composition and manufacturing tolerances meet the standards required for competitive racing. The springs are designed to work seamlessly with the existing Reflex 14 shock towers and shock bodies, maintaining precise ride height geometry and suspension travel limits. By using Factory Team springs rather than generic alternatives, you ensure consistency with the original engineering intent of the platform, which translates to more predictable handling and easier setup tuning when you're chasing lap time improvements or trying to dial in the perfect balance between speed and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Team Associated Reflex 14B/14T FT 10mm Front Spring Set suitable for beginners? — This is a specialist tuning component intended for users who already own a Reflex 14B or 14T and want to maintain or fine-tune suspension performance. If you're completely new to RC cars, you would first need to purchase a complete Reflex 14 model, but once you own one, these springs represent an excellent way to develop your understanding of how suspension tuning affects handling.
• What is the difference between front and rear shock springs for the Reflex 14? — Front and rear springs serve different functions in RC suspension geometry. Front springs must support braking load transfer and maintain turn-in response, whilst rear springs handle acceleration load transfer and exit traction. Team Associated offers this AS21557 front spring set separately from the rear spring set (AS21558) specifically because front and rear tuning often requires different spring rates to achieve balanced handling across all phases of a corner.
• How do I know which spring rate I need for my Reflex 14? — Spring rate selection depends on your track surface, ambient temperature, driving style and current setup. Team Associated recommends starting with the factory-recommended setup in the Reflex 14 manual, then experimenting with different spring combinations to achieve your desired handling balance. The fact that Factory Team springs are available in this set means you can trust the quality and engineering regardless of which rate you select.
• Will these springs work with aftermarket Reflex 14 shock bodies? — These springs are engineered specifically for genuine Team Associated Reflex 14B and 14T shocks sized at 10mm. Whilst some aftermarket components may be compatible, Team Associated cannot guarantee performance with non-genuine parts. For best results and reliability, use these springs with genuine Associated shock bodies and towers.
• Are these OEM springs or upgraded springs? — This is an official Factory Team part, which means it represents upgraded tuning options beyond the standard parts included with a new Reflex 14. Factory Team parts are developed to expand your track-tuning possibilities, giving you more options for suspension setup rather than replacing standard equipment.
• How often should I replace my Reflex 14 shock springs? — Suspension springs gradually lose their spring rate through use and can be damaged by impacts or corrosion. For competitive racing, many drivers replace springs regularly to ensure consistent performance. If you notice inconsistent handling, uneven ride height front-to-back, or springs that appear damaged or rusted, replacement is recommended.
• Can I mix and match front and rear springs from different sets? — Yes, in fact RC tuning often involves selecting front and rear springs independently to achieve balanced handling. This AS21557 front set can be paired with the AS21558 rear set or with other Reflex 14 rear spring options depending on your setup preferences.
