00:00If your RC truck keeps face-planting on every jump, or your crawler bottoms out on every little drop,
00:05the fix might be a lot cheaper than you think. I went through the best sellers and put together
00:10my top 5 RC shock springs for smoother landings, and honestly, some of these cost less than a
00:15coffee. Let's get into it. First up is this 3-pack of 1.6mm 304 stainless steel compression
00:23springs. Stainless is the star here, it won't rust or sag after a few wet runs, and the 1.6mm
00:29wire gives you a firm, predictable return without feeling rock hard. At $11.33 with over 4,400 sold
00:38and a perfect 5-star rating, this is the safe pick if you just want springs that work and keep
00:42working.
00:43Next, the 4-piece built-in shock absorber set in 70-110mm lengths, made for 1-10th crawlers like
00:50the SCX-10, TRX-4, D90, and Capra. The best part is the range, you can match your exact shock
00:57length
00:57instead of guessing. It's $10.85 for 4, sold 4,200 plus times at 4.7 stars, so it's a
01:05really easy way
01:06to refresh a whole rig at once. If you're running a Y-shaped setup or need something custom, this 5
01:12-pack
01:12of 1.6mm 304 stainless Y-shape return springs is worth a look. You get 5 springs for $6.24,
01:21and they're
01:21customizable, which is huge when stock sizes never quite fit. It's got 3,600 plus sales and a 4.7
01:28rating,
01:29solid value if you like tuning rather than replacing whole assemblies. Then there's this 65mN spring
01:35steel set, 5 or 10 pieces, 1.6mm wire, and these are noticeably stronger than the stainless ones.
01:42If you're carrying extra weight or doing big landings, that stiffer spring steel is what keeps
01:47you from slapping the chassis. At just $5.05 with a 4.8 rating and over 3,600 sold, it's
01:55the best bang
01:55for your buck on this list. And the last one is basically the same 65mN 10-piece set, but at
02:02$3.73
02:03it's the cheapest here and somehow it's holding a full 5 stars across 3,400 plus sales. Same 1.6mm
02:11strong spring steel, same customizable sizing, just less money. If you're stocking up or you're on a
02:17tight budget, honestly, start here and you won't feel bad about it. That's the list all five links
02:23are in the description below, so pick the one that fits your build and check the sizes before you
02:27order. If this helped you out, drop a like and hit subscribe, because I've got plenty more budget
