Default Nitro Rustler 2.5 front caster blocks

I am literally a half a dozen runs into this hobby after a trade for a practically new N. Rustler I made the other day. Getting it down though. I am coming from a R/C airplane background so I have the general knowledge although these little engines seem a bit more finicky than my plane ones.

Anyway, so I broke a caster block today and I was looking at replacement options. I see all the fancy aluminum stuff but I am thinking of sticking with plastic. This car has the RPM arms and I looked at their site but they do not offer a hop up that I saw for the caster block of this particular car. I ordered the OEM replacement already but I did not find any other plastic option. Is there one out there that is more robust than the OEM?

I do like the idea of the aluminum blocks but I was reading that they are kind of loose. I am sure it makes sense because all of that energy would go right to the little half dog bone pieces and snap those and those are cheap and easy to replace. I liked the idea of the RPM stuff and the car came with the rears as well I just need to put those on.
