FAQs

What is the difference between soft, medium, and hard springs?

Soft springs provide more suspension travel and are better for low-grip surfaces. Hard springs reduce body roll and are suitable for high-grip surfaces. Medium springs are a good all-around option.

How do I choose the right spring rate?

Consider the track conditions, your driving style, and the overall handling characteristics of your vehicle. Experimenting with different spring rates is key.

Are these springs compatible with all 1:10 scale vehicles?

They are compatible with most 1:10 scale vehicles that use 75mm springs. Always check your vehicle's specifications to ensure compatibility.

Can I mix and match spring rates?

Yes, you can mix and match spring rates to fine-tune your vehicle's handling. For example, you might use harder springs in the rear for more oversteer or softer springs in the front for more grip.

How often should I replace the springs?

Springs should be replaced when they show signs of fatigue, damage, or significant loss of performance. Regular inspection is recommended.

How do I adjust the spring preload?

Spring preload is typically adjusted using a threaded collar on the shock absorber. Turning the collar increases or decreases the spring's compression, affecting ride height and handling.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle feels unstable or rolls excessively in corners.

Try a harder spring rate (red or black) on the affected wheels or increase the spring preload.

Vehicle bounces excessively on bumpy surfaces.

Try a softer spring rate (blue or red) or reduce the spring preload.

Springs are rubbing against other components.

Ensure the springs are correctly seated and not bent. Check for any interference and adjust the setup as needed.
