Technical Performance

The HoBao Shock Boots & Spacers H87018 are precision engineering components manufactured to exact specifications for HoBao Hyper suspension systems. Shock boots serve a critical protective function in RC vehicle suspension, preventing ingress of dirt, sand, mud and moisture that would otherwise accumulate inside shock cylinders and damage internal seals, pistons and shaft components. The spacers are engineered to maintain precise suspension geometry and ride height settings, which directly impacts how your RC buggy, RC truggy or RC short course truck handles over jumps, through corners and across varied terrain. By maintaining proper suspension spacing and geometry, these components help preserve tyre contact with the ground, maximise grip levels and ensure consistent handling characteristics throughout your session. Quality shock protection is particularly important when running an RC car in dusty or muddy UK terrain, where debris exposure is constant. The HoBao H87018 components are designed to withstand the stresses of competitive racing and casual bashing alike, providing reliable performance whether you're running a nitro-powered Hyper 7 with a Mac 28 or Hyper .21 engine, or operating one of the electric roller chassis platforms. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn shock boots ensures your suspension system continues to perform at its best.

• Why do I need replacement shock boots and spacers for my RC buggy? — Shock boots are protective covers that prevent dirt, mud, sand and moisture from entering your shock cylinders and damaging internal components. The spacers maintain precise suspension geometry which is critical for maintaining handling and grip. Over time, shock boots wear out, tear or crack, exposing your shocks to contamination. Spacers can also compress or wear, affecting ride height and suspension performance. Replacing these components keeps your RC vehicle suspension in peak condition.
• How often should I replace shock boots on my RC car? — The replacement interval depends on how frequently and intensively you use your RC vehicle. Regular bashers and racers should inspect shock boots after every few sessions and replace them if they show cracks, tears, deformation or obvious wear. Running in muddy or sandy UK terrain will wear boots faster than dry conditions. Always keep spare shock boots on hand as part of your standard RC maintenance kit.
• Are these genuine HoBao parts? — Yes, the H87018 is a genuine HoBao original equipment manufacturer spare part, engineered and tested to their quality standards specifically for Hyper suspension systems. Using genuine HoBao parts ensures perfect fitment and reliable performance compared to aftermarket alternatives.
• Can I fit these myself? — Yes, shock boot and spacer replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that any RC enthusiast with basic mechanical knowledge can perform. However, if you're unfamiliar with RC suspension work, we recommend consulting your HoBao instruction manual or seeking advice from experienced RC modellers.
