The supplied abs wheel paints of mine are still intact, now they are not going to take any abuse, one ugly landing and say goodbye...As for the aluminum gear they are fairly strong, noticed mine have sagged a little but the elastisity helps on the landing, on take off you will notice they are shaking an vibrating on rough ground an once she lifts off its totally still...Oops, my knees are starting to knock already just thanking about it...
