New from Traxxas:

The Slash 4X4’s fully adjustable suspension gives it an edge in any race, and with Traxxas’ new progressive-rate tuning springs, you can hone your truck’s handling to an ever greater degree of precision. Custom-wound specifically or Slash 4X4, the new tuning springs are available in four rates to suit any setup. The progressive-rate design allows small-bump compliance without compromising big-hit capability, and the white powdercoated finish uarantees lasting good looks. The springs are color-coded to indicate rate, and are sold in pairs in front and rear lengths.

Progressive Spring Features:
  • Custom wound for Slash 4X4
  • Progressive-rate design allows small-bump compliance without compromising big-hit capability

The springs are sized to fit Ultra shocks (the standard plastic-body Traxxas shocks). They will also fit our aluminum Big Bore shocks, but are slightly oversized for those shocks. Use the spring perch from the Ultra shocks for the best fit.

These springs will fit Rustler, Bandit, Stampede and Slash 2WD, but the rates are higher than what you should run on them. Even the softest 4X4 springs are pretty stiff compared to the stockers on those vehicles. The -20% 4X4 springs are nearly twice as stiff as the stock Slash 2WD springs.

I've run Stampede front springs on the front of my Slash 4x4, but thought they were too soft for my driving skills. I think the -20% will be perfect.
