- Flexible Accordion-Style Design — The accordion-style construction allows these boots to compress and extend naturally with your suspension movement, providing authentic flex that mimics full-scale vehicles and adapts to various suspension geometries.
- Multiple Shock Length Compatibility — Rather than being limited to a single shock length, these boots are engineered to fit multiple shock lengths, giving you flexibility when upgrading or experimenting with different suspension configurations and setups.
- Set of Four Included — You receive a complete set of four shock boots, allowing you to upgrade all four corners of your RC vehicle in one purchase, ensuring a cohesive and finished appearance across your entire suspension system.
- Perfect for ARB and SuperLift Shocks — Specifically designed with compatibility in mind, these boots are engineered to fit popular ARB Old Man Emu and SuperLift shock models, making them an ideal choice for vehicles running these premium suspension components.

Technical Performance
The RC4WD Super Scale Shock Boot delivers impressive technical specifications for a suspension accessory. With a total weight of just 0.24 ounces or 7 grams for the complete set of four boots, these components add minimal mass to your RC vehicle whilst providing maximum visual impact. The flexible accordion-style rubber construction is engineered to accommodate the dynamic movement of suspension systems without compromising durability. The material selection ensures that the boots remain flexible even in temperature variations common in UK outdoor conditions, maintaining their functionality whether you're driving in summer heat or winter cold. The design specifically accounts for suspension travel, allowing the accordion pleats to compress during compression strokes and extend during rebound, mimicking the behaviour of full-scale shock covers. This engineering ensures compatibility across a range of shock lengths, making these boots versatile enough to fit SuperLift shocks including the Z-D0012, Z-D0015, and Z-D0032 models, as well as ARB Old Man Emu shocks including the Z-D0034, Z-D0038, and Z-D0036 variants. The rubber material resists UV degradation and environmental contaminants, helping maintain the vibrant red colour and structural integrity through extended use.
