Technical Performance
The Element RC Shock Springs EL42088 represent a critical suspension component in the Element RC Enduro vehicle lineup, which includes popular models such as the Ecto Trail Truck, Sendero HD and Trailwalker. At 0.95 lb/in, this spring rate strikes an excellent balance between suspension articulation and support, allowing your RC trail truck to maintain consistent ground contact whilst soaking up impacts and rough terrain features. The 63mm length is specifically engineered for the Element RC suspension geometry, ensuring proper shock stroke, ride height and anti-squat characteristics. These springs work in conjunction with your vehicle's shock absorbers and dampers to control vertical wheel motion, manage weight transfer during acceleration and braking, and maintain optimal tyre contact patch for maximum traction. Element RC engineers these components to exacting standards, using high-quality spring steel that maintains consistent rate throughout its operational lifespan. The white colour coding is an industry-standard practice that allows you to quickly identify the spring rate during setup and maintenance. Whether you're running the Element RC Enduro Ecto Trail Truck RTR in green, black or grey, the Element RC Enduro Sendero HD in titanium, or the Element RC Trailwalker in black, these shock springs deliver the tuning capability serious RC drivers demand. Spring rate selection directly impacts ride height, suspension responsiveness and overall vehicle balance, making this one of the most effective tuning modifications available to UK RC enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these Element RC shock springs compatible with? — The EL42088 springs are designed for Element RC Enduro range vehicles including the Ecto Trail Truck RTR (green EL40117, black EL40122, grey with portal axles EL40130), Enduro Trail Truck variants (Zuul Tan RTR EL40124, Sendero HD RTR black EL40123), Enduro Sendero HD Titanium RTR (EL40120) and Enduro Trailwalker RTR black (EL40119). Always verify your specific model number before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
- How do I know if 0.95 lb/in is the right spring rate for my vehicle? — Spring rate selection depends on your driving style, terrain type and current vehicle setup. The 0.95 lb/in rate is considered medium-soft and works well on rough, technical terrain where compliance and articulation are priorities. If your vehicle feels too bouncy or doesn't maintain ground contact properly, try a softer spring. If it feels too stiff or harsh, a softer rate like this may be ideal. Element RC also produces springs in alternative rates such as the 0.71 lb/in (part EL42087), allowing you to experiment and find your perfect setup.
- Do I need to replace all four shock springs at once? — It's best practice to replace all four shock springs as a set to maintain consistent suspension behaviour across all four corners of your vehicle. Mixing spring rates or using worn springs alongside new ones will create inconsistent handling and unpredictable vehicle behaviour during runs.
- What is the difference between these 0.95 lb/in springs and other available rates? — Element RC produces shock springs in different rates to suit various terrain and driving styles. The 0.71 lb/in version (EL42087) offers softer, more compliant suspension ideal for extremely rough or rocky terrain, whilst the 0.95 lb/in rate provides a stiffer setup suitable for mixed terrain and faster running. Lower spring rates (softer) increase suspension travel and articulation, whilst higher rates (stiffer) reduce compliance and provide more responsive handling.
- Are these genuine Element RC parts? — Yes, when you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're buying genuine, authorised Element RC products backed by the manufacturer's quality standards and our retailer guarantee.
- How often should shock springs be replaced? — Shock springs typically last for many hours of running before requiring replacement. Replace them if you notice reduced suspension compliance, inconsistent ride height, or if the springs have become physically deformed or damaged. It's good practice to inspect springs regularly during vehicle maintenance.
