Key Features

• Soft 1.7 Lb/In Spring Rate — This lower spring rate allows your suspension to compress more easily over bumps and obstacles, which means better traction and more consistent contact between your tyres and the track surface. For UK hobbyists running on varied terrain, this softer rating provides more forgiving handling characteristics.
• Genuine Team Associated Engineering — These springs are manufactured by Team Associated, the legendary RC racing brand with decades of championship-winning experience. You can trust the quality and consistency of these components because they're made to the same standards as components used in professional racing.
• Extended Adjustability Range — By adding a softer Black spring option to the existing lineup (alongside the Green 3.1 Lb/In fronts), Team Associated has significantly expanded your tuning possibilities. This means you can now achieve more precise suspension setups tailored to specific track conditions, weather patterns and your personal driving style.
• Perfect Fitment for RC10 Series Buggies — These 13mm rear springs are engineered specifically for multiple RC10 models, ensuring plug-and-play installation without any fitment issues or modifications required. The L61 length specification guarantees compatibility with your existing chassis.
• Professional-Grade Suspension Tuning — These springs allow you to fine-tune your car for every situation, from dusty outdoor tracks to indoor carpet surfaces. The ability to adjust your suspension characteristics is what separates competitive racers from casual drivers, and these springs give you that edge.

The Black springs represent the softer end of the range, making them ideal for smoother handling and better bump absorption.

While these are precision suspension components used in competitive racing, they're also suitable for any RC10 series buggy owner looking to improve handling.
