I can't believe these are that hard to find. I have hot racing hubs on my stampede and hot racing steering bits on my stampede. They use 3x5mm bushings that I can't find for the life of me. I lost one today and made my own shoulder bolt out of aluminum... which isn't great, would rather it had been brass. Regardless what I do though, it won't be as smooth as it should be as the outside edge of the bushing is what rubs on the part for pivoting. Kind of like the king pin bushings on 1/8th buggies and other misc rc's. However, all of those are either larger ID or smaller OD or both. Well, the ones I found.
The old OFNA clutch bell shim kit had them, but that doesn't exist anymore either.
Anyway, thought I'd throw a feeler out in case anyone else has found a source for such bushings.
They are the bushings that come with these:
These might work if I drill out the threaded and hex part:
Mugen MUGC0801H https://www.rcplanet.com/rc-parts/r-c-car-truck-parts/mugen-steering-rack-bushings-mugc0801h/
Or at least run a tap from the bottom through the hex part as I need the screw to go in from the flange end.
Nothing like scrolling through pages and pages of stuff...
