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

2.6mm Stiffer Coil Springs for X-Maxx Upgrade

These 2.6mm coil springs are an aftermarket spring set made for the TRAXXAS 1/8 X-Maxx platform, supplied as one set. They are built to be a direct-fit replacement for X-Maxx shock assemblies and work with either original shocks or optional GPM dampers.

Choosing a 2.6mm wire diameter raises the spring rate compared to lighter stock coils, helping reduce body roll and improving rebound behaviour under heavy landings and fast cornering. They suit drivers chasing a firmer, more controlled suspension feel for track sessions or aggressive off-road use.

Installation is straightforward: remove the shock cap and spring retainer, slide off the original spring, then fit the 2.6mm spring with the correct orientation and preload. Verify the spring is seated correctly on the perch and check travel to prevent coil bind. Make small preload adjustments and re-test after each change.

Tuning tip: pair these springs with appropriate shock oil and piston selections to balance damping with the higher spring rate. Increasing oil viscosity or using a smaller piston hole will help control faster rebound caused by stiffer coils. Bench-test the assembly and perform a short on-track check after tuning.
