Default Nose Gear for Rough Field Ops

I am looking for advice on a tough nose gear to put on a 40 size model. I have a tail dragger in the works which is a better solution but right now the house is under construction so no building for a while. The runway has been taking a beating from trucks delivering material so we won't do any work on it until the house is done. Landings sometimes involve hitting rocks up to 2 inches in diameter and bent nose gear is common. Anyone have any recommendations for a tougher unit I could install?

Here is a YouTube clip of the first flights off the property. Not one of my finer days of RC Flying!
