Shock caps replacement question

[enzo3856]

My son and I finally got our first run on a track this past weekend in Stratford...
needless to say, there is some adjustments that need to be made when moving from a bash field to a proper track...

My son kept sending his Baja a little too much and a rear shock cap broke... so now we can pop it back on, but the "eye" is split, so it will easily pop out again...
Wondering what the options are for replacements...?
do we just go with stock plastic parts? or is there an aluminum cap available?

There was much more options available back before the first hpi model got discontinued. I got aluminium reservoir caps way back then and have held for better than a decade.
Then the Chinese copied the baja and even savage and there is a bunch of options on ali express. Not sure what the quality is cause they are cheap.
