Short Setting Spring Set (Mini-Z MB-010) Kyosho MBW012S  [KY-MBW012S]

Short setting springs - designed for Mini-Z MB-010

The Kyosho MBW012S Setting Spring Set (Short) is a compact spring kit intended for Mini-Z MB-010 style shocks, supplied in a set of colour-coded stiffnesses so models can be balanced without replacing shock bodies.

These short springs follow the Mini-Z short spring profile and are coded by colour to indicate progressive rates: Purple (super soft), Green (soft), Silver (medium), Gold (hard). The set commonly includes the super soft spring fitted as the default item.

Installation is straightforward: remove the shock cap and spring retainer, slide on the selected short spring, then reassemble the shock. Short springs typically alter ride height and initial preload versus full-length springs, so check rebound and droop settings after making changes.

For setup strategy, use softer colours to improve grip at lower speeds and firmer colours to control roll at higher speeds. Change one rate at a time and compare behaviour on a stable surface to isolate handling effects.

MBW012S is supplied as an official Kyosho spare for Mini-Z suspension tuning and is intended for model use in hobby and track environments.
