Soft mounting spring slot with securing screws

A soft spring that changes the feel of your slot controller

The slot controller spring MB-19101 from MB is a soft tension replacement designed to modify the resistance of the throttle trigger. It comes with its fixing screws, making for direct installation without the need for additional parts.

Function and performance

The hardness of the trigger spring has a direct impact on how the car drives on track. A soft spring reduces the force needed to activate the acceleration, allowing for a more progressive response and more precise control in high-demand corners. This feature is particularly useful in high-powered cars, where managing acceleration makes the difference between smooth driving or being shot off the track.

The complete set includes the fixing screws, so there is no need to reuse the originals if they are worn or damaged.

Compatibility and installation

This spring is designed for MB controllers. Before placing an order, it is advisable to check that the controller model you are using is compatible with this reference. Installation is straightforward: simply access the internal mechanism of the trigger, remove the old spring, and fit the new one with the included screws.

Soft spring or hard spring? Which to choose?

The choice depends on driving style and the type of car:

• Soft spring (MB-19101): greater sensitivity in the trigger, progressive response, less effort during long sessions. Recommended for technical tracks and high-powered cars.
• Hard spring: more resistance in the trigger, firmer feel, useful for drivers who prefer a more direct and defined response.

There is no universally better option: it is a matter of personal preference and adaptation to the car and track.
