Default Nose Gear Stability

Ok so this is my second time build an RC plane.
I threw this together over the course of about a month from design to first test flight.
However! I am running into the same problem as my first build, (didnt solve this problem then either) The nose wheel seems to bend, Im taking off from a grass field so I know my issue as of right now is the fact that im using 2.25 dubros. Bigger wheels will be ordered, but I want to beef up my nose wheel without adding too much weight in the end so I doesnt bend. Any ideas? Should I convert to a tail dragger?
