On my Mini pulse i got rid of the spats and put on some bigger foam wheels. The U/C on the pulse is tough, i would personally like it to have more give. I may swap it one day for a wire type U/C, this will absorb those not so delicate landings.

If you want durable, then my Multiplex Gemini has the edge.
Here's a vid of a crash i had last week. It's now back together without using any new parts. I took her out yesterday for a test, had to make a small adjustment on my thrust line and she was back to normal.
