Key Features
- Matched Set for Complete Suspension Coverage — This set includes springs for both the front and rear suspension of your Rival MT10, allowing you to service or replace worn components across the entire truck in one purchase, ensuring consistent suspension behaviour at both ends of the vehicle.
- Genuine Team Associated Original Parts — These are authentic factory parts manufactured by Team Associated, the maker of your Rival MT10, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance characteristics that aftermarket alternatives cannot guarantee.
- 12mm Shock Spring Diameter — The 12mm shock spring specification is precisely engineered for the Rival MT10's suspension system, providing the correct spring rates and travel characteristics that the truck's chassis was designed around.
- Front and Rear Specific Design — The set includes springs specifically designed for front and rear positions, as front and rear suspension typically requires different spring rates to balance handling and stability, and using the correct springs in each position is essential for proper vehicle behaviour.
- Ideal for Routine Maintenance and Servicing — Over time, shock springs can lose their tension and become fatigued, particularly if your truck sees regular use in demanding conditions, making replacement springs a necessary part of ongoing maintenance to keep your suspension performing at its best.
- Cost-Effective Upgrade Option — Rather than purchasing an entirely new suspension assembly, this spring set offers an affordable way to refresh your suspension components and potentially experiment with different spring rates for tuning purposes.

Team Associated has engineered these springs to maintain consistent spring rates throughout their service life, contributing to predictable handling and stable cornering on the track. The construction quality reflects Team Associated's reputation for precision manufacturing, with each spring manufactured to exacting standards to ensure reliability and longevity even under the demanding conditions that competitive and recreational RC truck enthusiasts subject their vehicles to.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need replacement shock springs for my Rival MT10? — Shock springs deteriorate over time through regular use, losing their tension and spring rate as the metal fatigues. Replacing worn springs is essential for maintaining the suspension performance and handling characteristics of your truck, ensuring it performs as the manufacturer intended and helping to preserve other suspension components from premature wear.
- How do I know when my shock springs need replacing? — Signs that your springs may need replacement include reduced suspension travel, a softer or less responsive feel when cornering, or visible damage to the springs themselves. If your truck feels lower than it did previously or doesn't respond as quickly to bumps and obstacles, worn springs could be the cause.
- Are these genuine Team Associated parts? — Yes, absolutely. RC Model Shop is an authorised Team Associated retailer, and we stock only genuine original parts manufactured by Team Associated. This ensures perfect compatibility with your Rival MT10 and the performance standards that the manufacturer has engineered into these components.
- Will these shock springs fit other Team Associated models? — These springs are specifically designed for the Rival MT10 and feature the 12mm shock specification for this model. Other Team Associated vehicles may use different suspension systems or shock sizes, so it's important to verify compatibility before purchasing springs for a different model.
- Can I mix and match different spring rates? — Whilst some experienced RC enthusiasts experiment with different spring rates for tuning purposes, the recommended approach is to use matched sets as provided in this kit. Using mismatched spring rates between front and rear, or on left and right sides, can affect your truck's handling balance and stability.
- How often should I service my suspension? — For regular recreational use, inspecting your suspension every few months and replacing springs as needed is typical. For competitive racing or intensive use, more frequent inspection and maintenance is advisable to ensure consistent performance.
- Is this a complete suspension kit or just the springs? — This product contains only the shock springs. You'll need to have a compatible Rival MT10 with the existing shock bodies and other suspension components already installed to use these replacement springs.
