TRAXXAS X-Maxx Firm Rate Coil Springs 2.6mm - TXMSP26 by GPM  [TXMSP26]

Firm 2.6mm Coil Springs for TRAXXAS X-Maxx

These 2.6mm coil springs are an aftermarket spring set specified for the TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx and are supplied as one set. They are intended for direct-fit installation into X-Maxx shock assemblies and are compatible with the original dampers or optional GPM shock units.

With a 2.6mm wire diameter the springs provide a higher spring rate versus lighter stock coils, which helps control body roll and offers improved rebound behaviour during heavy landings and tight cornering. They are suited to pilots who want a firmer, more responsive suspension for spirited driving.

Installation is straightforward: remove the shock cap and spring retainer, slide off the old spring and install the 2.6mm unit, observing correct orientation and preload. Confirm spring seating on the shock perch and check full travel to avoid coil bind. Adjust preload incrementally and re-evaluate after each change.

Tuning advice: pair these springs with an appropriate shock oil grade and piston choice to match the increased rate; stepping up oil viscosity or fitting a smaller piston aperture can help control rebound. Always bench-test the assembled shock and perform a short run to confirm behaviour.
