Default scale cub landing gear?

Does anyone know where to get some scale cub landing gear for a 40 size cub?
I can give more dimensions if needed.

Thanks,
Extra

Robarts has them I think. They are pricey though.

Robart does have some great looking shock absorbing suspension gear and yes, it's very pricey. Almost the price of my ARF itself. Hanger 9 is putting out some decent gear with their plug-n-play Cub. Might want to look at that one. I think it's about 10.00 direct from Horizon. Will have to pay shipping though which will almost double the price. That's why I haven't bought it yet.

Do a search for 'scale gear comparison" , I think in the r/c scale forum, but maybe in kit forum. Hell, search 'em all. I did a thread a while back, comparing the Robart and the Wallace gear. I have both. The Wallace gear is on my L-4 Sig, looks and works great, just over $100. The Robart is more. If the plane is narrower than 5 inches where the gear fits, the Wallace gear will stick out a little. The perfect fit is 5-1/8 inch. Same goes for the Robart. GP and H-9 Cubs (40 size) are slightly smaller than 1/5 scale. The one picture below shows both gear together, the Wallace gear is green, the Robart is gray.

That's another good thing about the Wallace gear; the shock covers are included. Have to make your own for the Robart. The Wallace covers are okay, they're made out of vinyl upholstery mat'l and have a thin velcro strip that holds them together, and the ends are tucked in with some stitching. Mine are getting sort of beat up, but then, so is the plane. Been flying it now for over two years, I couldn't guess how many flights it has on it. Looks like a well weathered old warbird. I don't even dust it off, but keep the fuel cleaned off.

Had my j3gear on HAN9 1/4 Supercub for couple years. Survived three bad crashes( midair, dead battery and stupit mistake). Makes landings on our grass field a dream. Pricey but worth every penny.
