Default Landing gear options?

Are there any aftermarket landing gear options? I'm not so much interested in different colored stock skids but I'm looking for a different shape/style. Anybody know of anything?

Trex 500 skids work. They are a little wider, but look decent.

Hmmm I feel like they would look strange because they're bigger

I prefer the Align 450 strut and pipe stye much sturdier.... you have to grind down the frame mounting ridges on the strut and drill a new hole but very beefy skids.

You could also use Blade 400 strut and pipe style gear with zero needed mods. These are beefier than stock but lighter duty than the Align.

The T500 skids are quite a bit bigger but they can be useful if you land on grass. They give you somewhat more ground clearance. Also good for beginners because they are easier to land on. I had some on for a while and then went back to the stock skids.

Id like to see pics of the trex 450 skids. Tarot just came out with some "goblin like" skids for the trex 450. They'd probably look sweet on the X but im guessing would also require modding
