These 2.6mm coil springs are an aftermarket spring set specified for the TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx platform and supplied as one set. They are intended to be a direct-fit spring option for the X-Maxx shock assembly and are compatible with original shocks and optional GPM dampers.
The 2.6mm wire diameter produces a higher, more predictable spring rate than stock light coils, which helps reduce body roll and stabilise rebound under heavy loads and aggressive impacts. Use these springs where precise suspension response and repeatable behaviour are needed for performance driving or tuned off-road setups.
Installation steps: remove the shock cap and spring retainer, remove the fitted spring, then install the 2.6mm spring ensuring correct orientation and preload. Confirm proper seating on the shock perch and verify travel to prevent coil bind. Adjust preload and test iteratively to dial in handling.
Technical tuning note: pair these springs with appropriate shock oil viscosity and piston selection to balance damping with the increased spring rate. Heavier oil or reduced piston orifice size will slow rebound and aid control. Always bench-test shock assemblies and perform controlled track evaluations after any setup change.
