Overview
The FTX Tracker Spring (2pc) is an essential replacement suspension component designed for FTX RC models. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast maintaining your fleet or a UK RC car owner looking to keep your vehicle in peak condition, this genuine FTX spare part ensures your suspension performs exactly as the manufacturer intended. Springs are critical to suspension geometry and handling characteristics, making them one of the most important wear items in any RC car. The FTX Tracker Spring set provides the exact replacement specifications needed to maintain optimal ride height, spring rate and suspension response on compatible FTX models.
Suspension springs are fundamental to RC car performance and durability. Over time and with regular use, springs can weaken, lose their tension or become damaged, affecting your vehicle's ground clearance, handling balance and overall driving experience. Whether you bash your RC car at weekends or enjoy competitive racing, having genuine replacement springs on hand ensures you can quickly restore your vehicle to factory specifications. The FTX Tracker Spring (2pc) gives you the peace of mind that comes with OEM-quality parts, manufactured to the exact same standards as the original components fitted to new FTX models.
This suspension upgrade is perfect for RC hobbyists across the UK who want to maintain their FTX vehicles at the highest level. Ready to run RC cars and competition-grade machines alike depend on properly functioning suspension components, and springs are no exception. By choosing genuine FTX spare parts, you're investing in reliability, consistency and authentic performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.

Technical Performance
The FTX Tracker Spring (2pc) represents genuine OEM engineering designed to maintain suspension performance across FTX RC vehicles. Springs are precision-manufactured components that provide the fundamental force needed to return the suspension to ride height after compression and to maintain consistent geometry throughout the vehicle's operating envelope. The two-piece format allows you to replace springs on both sides of your vehicle or keep spares for extended RC sessions without downtime. Spring rate—the amount of force required to compress the spring by a given distance—is precisely calibrated to work with the rest of the FTX suspension geometry, including dampers, anti-roll bars and suspension links. Using genuine replacement springs ensures your vehicle maintains the handling characteristics and ride height intended by the designers. Spring performance directly affects traction, steering response, jump landing stability and overall drivability, making it one of the most important maintenance items you can perform on your RC car. Over time, springs gradually lose their pre-load tension through mechanical cycling, resulting in reduced ride height, altered suspension geometry and compromised handling. By replacing springs regularly as part of your RC maintenance routine, you preserve peak performance and prevent premature wear on other suspension components. Whether you're maintaining a ready to run RC vehicle for casual bashing or preparing a competition-grade machine for racing, genuine FTX springs are the correct choice.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- How often should I replace the springs on my FTX RC car? — Spring replacement frequency depends on usage intensity. Regular bashers and racers should inspect springs every 10-15 hours of use and replace them if you notice reduced ride height, softer suspension response or uneven vehicle stance. Springs are consumable maintenance items, so keeping spares on hand is essential for serious RC car UK enthusiasts.
- Are these springs compatible with all FTX models? — These springs are specifically designed for FTX Tracker models and compatible variants. Always verify the exact model name of your vehicle before ordering. Check your vehicle's manual or the FTX website to confirm compatibility with your specific FTX RC car.
- What symptoms indicate my springs need replacing? — Common signs include lower ride height than normal, softer suspension feel under braking or acceleration, inconsistent handling on rough terrain, and visual inspection showing sagging or uneven vehicle stance. If your RC car sits lower than it should, these springs are likely due for replacement.
- Can I upgrade to stiffer or softer springs? — These OEM springs are specifically calibrated for Tracker models. For suspension tuning and customisation with alternative spring rates, consult the FTX hop-ups and options catalogue or contact specialist RC retailers for alternative spring stiffness options.
- Is professional installation required? — No, spring replacement is a basic maintenance task suitable for most RC hobbyists. Standard RC tools (hex drivers, pliers) are typically all you need. Detailed installation instructions should be available from FTX documentation or RC guides online.
- Why buy genuine FTX springs instead of aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine OEM springs are precision-engineered to exact specifications and spring rates, ensuring perfect compatibility and consistent performance. Aftermarket springs may vary in quality and rate, potentially affecting handling balance and durability. Genuine parts provide the assurance that your vehicle will perform exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
