Hi all, not new to the RC hobby, but new to Arrma, just got a Talion V3, lovin' it.
Got a question about the dust boots on the V3 Shocks, is the boot really suppose to look like this ?
The boot looks like it's too long and it gets twisted around the shockshaft more and more as you drive, been searching but have not found a good solution. Not a real problem but it doesn't look right ? Has anyone got a fix for this ? Uploading pis of a rear shock.

Looks like they need some air inside around the shaft. There is no possible way for them to twist. They are connected at both ends. Probably not a big deal...
 
True, they need som air :) If the plastic spacer next to the rod end in the bottom was not there the lenght of the boot would be more correct.
Thinking about removing the spacer but i guess it supposed to act as protector so the shock doesn't bottom out ?
 
Guess I'll live with it, dabbed some silicone lube on the bottom inside the boot, doesn't twist as much now :)
