Technical Performance
The Carisma GT24B Medium Spring for Metal Oil Shocks represents a fundamental component in the suspension geometry of one of Carisma's most popular compact RC car platforms. The GT24B series is built around precision engineering principles, and these springs are manufactured to the same exacting standards that define the entire model range. When fitted to the aluminium metal oil shock bodies, these medium-rate springs provide the perfect balance between maintaining suspension droop, supporting the vehicle's weight during cornering, and responding quickly to track surface irregularities. The spring rate has been specifically calibrated to work in harmony with the GT24B's compact wheelbase, low centre of gravity, and overall chassis dynamics, which means they deliver predictable, linear performance across the entire suspension travel range. Unlike plastic shock setups, the metal oil shocks paired with these springs offer superior heat dissipation and consistency, meaning your suspension performance remains stable throughout extended driving sessions. The engineering allows for easy setup experimentation, as drivers can gradually adjust their suspension tuning by swapping between soft, medium, and hard spring options to dial in the perfect handling balance for their preferred driving style and track conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between soft, medium, and hard springs for my GT24B RC car? — Suspension springs directly affect how your RC car responds to track surface changes and cornering forces. Soft springs compress more easily, providing better initial traction and comfort but potentially sacrificing stability and precision. Medium springs like this set offer the best compromise for most drivers, delivering responsive handling with reliable stability. Hard springs resist compression more, providing maximum chassis control and precision but potentially reducing traction on bumpy surfaces. The choice depends entirely on your track conditions and personal driving preference.
- Will these springs fit my GT24B metal oil shocks? — Yes, these springs are specifically engineered by Carisma for use with the aluminium metal oil shock absorber sets fitted to GT24B, GT24TR, and GT24R models. They will not fit plastic shock bodies, so ensure you are using the metal shock set before purchasing.
- How often should I replace my RC car suspension springs? — Suspension springs do not typically wear out during normal use, but they can lose their spring rate over time with extreme use or exposure to harsh conditions. These springs should be replaced if you notice your suspension feeling softer than usual, if you want to experiment with different setup configurations, or if you are swapping components between different driving conditions.
- Is changing my suspension springs difficult? — Replacing suspension springs is one of the easiest RC car modifications you can perform. Most installations require only a small screwdriver and approximately five minutes per shock. The springs sit on top of the shock bodies and are held in place by the pre-load adjuster cap, making removal and installation straightforward even for beginners exploring RC car UK tuning options.
- What suspension tuning should I try first with these medium springs? — If you are new to suspension tuning, start with the medium springs and stock pre-load settings, then gradually adjust pre-load up or down based on how your car handles. If the car feels too soft, tighten pre-load; if it feels too stiff, reduce pre-load. This approach lets you understand your setup before investing in additional spring rates.
