Intermediate T2 spring x4

Four intermediate T2 springs to keep your suspension on point

The shock spring is one of those components that makes a difference in the behaviour of a slot car equipped with the OSC system. Over time, or after repeated adjustments, the original springs can lose tension or deform, directly affecting the guide's contact with the track and the overall stability of the chassis. This pack includes 4 intermediate T2 springs, the medium stiffness of the OSC range, which offers a balance between rigidity and absorption.

Function and performance

The intermediate T2 springs work within the OSC suspension system, regulating the vertical pressure of the guide-chassis assembly on the track. A medium stiffness like T2 is particularly suitable for mixed circuits, with fast corners and technical sections, where neither a too soft nor an excessively rigid suspension yields the best results.

• Type: OSC T2 shock spring (medium stiffness)
• Pack contents: 4 units
• Reference: SRCRM0809
• Application: OSC suspension system in compatible slot cars

Compatibility

These springs are designed for the OSC system. Before installing them, check that your chassis incorporates this suspension system, as they are not universally applicable. Consult your car's documentation or your club's preparer if you have any doubts about exact compatibility.

Installation and preparation

Changing springs in an OSC system is a straightforward operation but requires attention. Carefully remove the suspension assembly, extract the worn spring, and replace it with the new T2. Take the opportunity to check the condition of the other suspension components: seats, rods, and stops. A well-maintained assembly ensures consistent response lap after lap.

Common mistakes

• Mixing springs of different stiffness on the same axle can lead to asymmetric behaviour that is difficult to correct with tuning.
• Forcing the assembly without properly aligning the spring can cause uneven compression and loss of effectiveness.
• Replacing only the worn spring without checking the rest of the OSC system can mask larger problems.

Ideal for…

Preparers and club drivers working with cars equipped with OSC suspension who want to always have the correct spare part on hand. Having a pack of 4 units allows for maintaining the minimum stock necessary to avoid stopping in the middle of a tuning or competition session.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the T1, T2, and T3 springs of the OSC system?

The difference lies in the stiffness or rigidity of the spring. T1 is usually the softest, T2 the intermediate, and T3 the stiffest. The choice depends on the type of circuit, the weight of the car, and the driving style. The T2 is a good starting point for fine-tuning from there.

When should I replace the OSC suspension springs?

When you notice that the car is losing stability in corners, that the guide does not maintain constant contact with the track, or when visually inspecting the spring shows deformation or lack of tension compared to the reference ones.

Can I use these springs in any slot car?

No. They are specific to chassis that incorporate the OSC suspension system. If your car does not have this system, these springs are not applicable.

What tools do I need for the change?

Generally, a fine screwdriver and a pair of pointed pliers are sufficient to manipulate the spring precisely. Some preparers also recommend a small wrench to loosen the suspension stops.

The SRC RM0809 intermediate T2 spring pack for OSC suspension systems is the go-to replacement part for slot car racers seeking consistent handling and balanced chassis response. Includes 4 units of medium-stiffness springs, compatible with OSC-equipped slot cars. Essential spares for club racers and home setup enthusiasts working on suspension tuning and lap time consistency.
