Hi:
I have an E-Flite Carbon Z Cessna 150 and I have bent my third steerable wheel yesterday. What has anyone done to help prevent bending shaft of this wheel. Perhaps replacing the hard plastic wheels with softer rubber to absorb some of the impact and vibrations. Thoughts?

A softer rubber or foam wheel will help. A smoother runway will also help.
The answer, learn to make better landings.
