3dsky,
I suggest your answer for a better landing gear is the gear sold by DuBro. They are made of something like reinforced nylon, are extremely durable, and provide about 1 1\4 inches more ground clearance. I installed a set on my Twist several weeks ago and couldn't be more pleased. I installed the new gear by drilling-out the old mounting holes to 1\4 inch, glued in short pieces of 1\4 inch dowel, aligned the gear and drilled new holes for 1\4-20 nylon bolts. Just last weekend the aileron control stick on my TX started sticking, as in it would not return to center\neutral. Result was a rough landing that simply sheared the nylon bolts. I am sure the alum gear would have been bent well out of shape.
