Fine front-end setup using the Tamiya 53974 TRF501X springs

The Tamiya 53974 - TRF501X Front Spring Set contains three pairs of colour coded springs: Hard, Medium and Soft. These allow precise adjustments to front suspension stiffness so you can tailor steering feel and load transfer for different track demands.

Using spring rate to refine balance

Choose Hard springs to sharpen turn-in and stabilise the front at speed; select Soft springs to gain mechanical grip on bumpy or low traction surfaces. Combining spring rate changes with shock oil and anti-roll bar tweaks helps achieve a well balanced setup for both qualifying and race runs.

How do spring changes affect oversteer or understeer?

Increasing front stiffness tends to reduce understeer but may induce oversteer if the rear is unchanged. Softer front springs can increase understeer while improving front traction. Balance both axles when tuning.

Should I change shock oil when swapping springs?

It is common to adjust shock oil viscosity in tandem with spring rate changes. Heavier oil can slow damper movement to compensate for softer springs and vice versa.

Can these springs be used for competition straight away?

They are ready to fit, but competitive use benefits from testing different rates on your car and track to find the optimum combination. Record settings so you can reproduce successful setups.

How should I store spare spring sets between events?

Keep springs in labelled compartments or a small parts organiser to avoid confusion. Protect them from corrosion and keep them away from solvents and strong heat sources.
