Bought a used Abrams for cheap but one of the plastic caps (for metal road wheels) is missing! I searched but can't find anyone just selling a set of caps. Looks like I have to buy the whole accessories set that includes caps and other items.

First question...Anyone know if wheel caps can be bought separately on their own, or options?

Another newbie question...I read here that the longer plastic hull, like in Abrams, has a tendency to crack over time! Hull reinforcement seems to be the answer. However, will changing the road wheels from metal to plastic, but keeping the drive wheels and tracks in metal, help with reducing the weight, thus putting less stress to the hull?

Try Toucan hobby. They have a set on aliexpress for the Abrams.

Thanks! It's US$17 so it's a bit pricey (know it's probably the shipping that costs more)! I might just get the whole set of accessories for about the same price from Motion RC (when I need more parts for other tanks)! Appreciate it nevertheless.
