This is the most successful OpenRC all metal drive-train car that I’ve built. I started with ordering the metal drive train parts and printing the 3D parts created by @Fabian_Schurig on thingiverse:
I purchased these CVD’s (PRODUCT ID: 382000124 ) from HobbyKing for $5.95 per pair, along with the Blue Aluminum Wheel Adaptors (PRODUCT ID: 151000031) $3.28 for four of them.
For these CVD’s you will need to print the Rear C-Hub.stl and SteeringBlock.stl from link below. @Emile_Wim designed these.
These are the Wishbones, Hubs, and Turnbuckles that I’m using. I created the Wishbones and Turnbuckles using 123D Design. This is a first for me.

I’m currently using these parts from HobbyKing for the steering linkage:
PRODUCT ID: OR023-01304
What do you think?
I still can’t wait until @Daniel_Noree releases the next version this month. I will probably scrap all this work and print the next release of the OpenRC project. 
Nice! I had the same issues but will wait for the new release. 
@bcrazycramer you and me both, this thing is giving me a headache!
@bcrazycramer where did you buy the tires and rims?
Your Truggy looks awesome, cant wait to see it driving.
@bcrazycramer Don´t scrap the Truggy when you have put in so much work.
I´ll post some clues about the next project on twitter… What will it be? Something going on land, in water or air???
@Blayne_Puklich All sites where I have uploaded it to should have the same (and latest) version. If unsure where to look, check GrabCAD!
@bcrazycramer thanks for sharing this and it is a huge help! One question - does this simply reuse the original front hubs along with your new steering blocks?
@Aaron_Horst I remember needing to use those hubs and steering blocks that I included that link for. I think otherwise they will rub on the hubs and are too short to get the pin in.
Do you recall what parts you ended up needing for the steering components? Was it only the printed parts or did you require anything else?
I’m currently using these parts from HobbyKing for the steering linkage:
PRODUCT ID: OR023-01304
Just one bag for the linkage? What did they connect with, the printed parts?
@bcrazycramer sorry one more question… In addition to the linkage what part did you end up using for connecting directly to the servo?
I’m using a cut screw for the threaded rod to connect those pieces. Same stuff for the servo.
@bcrazycramer a cut m3? guess I need to order some longer ones then. wonder if they have any on hobby king.
do you have a printed piece that connects to the servo you used of just the threaded rod? I have the hardware you used and would love to see a pic when you have one if the front setup
I can post a picture tomorrow. I’m using the steering linkage for the servo. I was going to use a plastic part but didn’t feel comfortable with that.
Yes I have longer M3 screws that I cut. I got mine from http://boltdepot.com.
I already had the screws laying around. Either way you will need to cut the threaded rod or screws to length.
@Aaron_Horst This is how I have my steering linkage setup:
@bcrazycramer thanks for posting these pics, they have helped me immensely! What did you end up using for your servo arm??
The part that attaches to the servo? I cut a piece of the plastic that it came with and attached it to my steering linkage. Is that what you are asking?
yes just noticed that when zooming into your pic, thanks for the help, you have helped me immensely throughout this journey
