Landing gear spares

I got some cheap landing gear recently for an F550 off eBay. Seemed pretty good and light until I slammed it hard a couple of times. Now both semi circle legs have snapped in the middle.
Do spares exist for these? I would be happy to carry on using and breaking if the legs only could be acquired cheaply as a 'consumable'! - However it seems it's all sold as a package and I can't find a source for spares.
Any suggestions or maybe a new alternative to consider?

I did exactly the same thing you did, snapped right at the thinnest area. Search for a seller on ebay called securebuyrc. For $20 from China I got two more sets of just the legs.

Make sure you have the brace between the two legs secure, it will prevent them from "spreading" which causes the flexing at the break point.:)
 

I know I did, w/o it it was break on a semi smooth landing. On my crash I even run a zip tie around the legs cause I didn't want to hot glue the cross member, but it still came apart. Its just not meant to take any crash I guess.
