The steering turnbuckles are just Spec-R aluminum turnbuckles with TC6 ballcups.

Servo mount is already available here- https://www.shapeways.com/product/X7...ty-servo-mount
As for the arms, they're something I've been playing with to get rid of some of the flex with the stock arms. When I'm happy with them I'll put them on Shapeways. The front bulkhead is a multi-piece unit that allows you to adjust reactive caster as well as roll center by raising and lowering the upper half with shims. Still playing around with both.

I have my CRC F1 handling very good am I'm very happy with the performance. However I have been eliminated from several races due to the steering knuckle failure.
I've watched virtually every other brand of car take far more abuse than what my car sees yet the other brands continue with no failure.
I'm a pretty good and clean driver and I don't often wreck or drive out of control.
I've lost the front knuckle with extremely light contact with another car that was rolling into the starting grid, barely clipping my front tire and it breaks the knuckle. Same when I have brushed the smooth track piece at low speeds.
Are there any options out there to improve the robustness of the steering knuckles that anyone can recommend?

Basically, you need to replace the rearmost screw in the socket for the lower arm ball with some kind of post to stop the steering block from turning too far inward. You can use a longer screw with spacers on it, or a screw coming from the bottom of the arm with a standoff on it. There's all kinds of variations that work. Team Saxo (who makes the plastics for the CRC front end) actually made hopup posts for their car that accomplishes this, but there's no Saxo dealer in the US to my knowledge, and $30 shipping for a $4 part is crazy. I'm surprised that CRC hasn't brought these over or made some of their own. Every CRC owner at our track has had the same issue at some point.
Team Saxo steering stops
Here's how I fixed mine. I used some hex-head M3 bolts that fit pefectly into the nut recess in the lower side of the socket, then I screw on some posts that I had 3d printed from the top. You could use regular standoffs that are threaded for 3mm in the same place.
