I put the wire gear shown on all my small electrics - it was and still is the best method of absorbing landing gear shock loads -in ALL directions
it is also lighter than any other gear typs -including the carbon fibre types.
It also looks like hell, Dick.
The stock gear and wheel pants look much better. The fix DS Dave used was recommended by Ben @ 3D Hobby Shop. It's simple, easy and retains the good looks of the original by beefing up the structure supporting the gear. I have the same fix in my Aspera.
I'm sure you'll agree that there's more than one good way fix any problem.
