Adjustable front springs for the Tamiya 53974 TRF501X

The Tamiya 53974 - TRF501X Front Spring Set contains three matched pairs of colour coded springs: Hard, Medium and Soft. These allow modelers to alter front compliance and response quickly, making setup changes simple when testing lines or adapting to changing track grip.

Practical setup advice for club racing

Use the Medium springs as a baseline, then move to Hard for reduced roll and crisper turn-in, or to Soft for added compliance on rough sections. Small spring changes often produce predictable shifts in balance, so try one change at a time and log results to learn how each rate affects handling.

On mixed surfaces the Medium springs are a reliable starting point since they offer a compromise between stability and compliance. From there, tweak based on understeer or oversteer you experience.
Yes, the set uses colour coding to show Hard, Medium and Soft rates. Refer to the product notes or Tamiya documentation for the exact colour to rate mapping for consistent setup work.
They are intended for front suspension tuning and work well on on-road and light off-road layouts where the suspension geometry matches. For heavy off-road use consider springs specifically rated for larger impacts.
Keep a simple setup sheet noting spring rate, shock oil, ride height and tyre choice for each run. That makes it easier to see how each spring swap alters lap times and handling balance.
