Anybody tried these on their Corally rigs?

Possibly require Kraton 6S V6 axles, but these look really, really good. Larger bearings and slots to aid bearing removal for servicing. 🤩😎

They're nice and light, too.
 
Good question. I have both, Arrma and TC.I’ll check when I get a chance.
I know the retaining caps are the same. Stock pieces at least.
I’ve noticed that I don’t go through nearly as many 8x16x5 (TC) hub bearings as I do the 15x21x4 Arrma. Though Arrma has finally adressed the issue with the v6 models.
 
So I’ve been down this rabbit hole myself lately, I have the vitavon hubs on the way for my Kronos(stuck in customs should been here already) & I’m going to order the scorched typhon hubs(on mailing list been out stock for wks) for my buggy rebuild. Changing axles only way I see to do it, the external bearing is same size as corally but internal is different, I thought if could find bearing correct dimensions to fit internal bearing could use corally axles but I searched everywhere couldn’t find size required. So changing axles only way I see to do it. I think the pivot balls are the same size, I was going to add the scorched titanium ones until I saw an post from adu, they’ve released lightweight versions for corally/arrma the pitch on the thread is different so will have to stick with corally ones.

I think the rear hubs drop in with no modification. Query rear stub axles though.

Front hubs look equally awesome and I recall some people using Arrma Pivot balls. So, possibly maybe the front hub carriers could be persuaded to fit Kagama/Kronos......

I think Kraton arms/ dog bones/cvds might be slightly longer than Kronos but I remember seeing a vid where someone had fitted Kraton hubs & I think he fitted corally driveshaft to Kraton Cvd I’ll try find it later

The external bearing is 8x16x5 same as corally only the the internal is 15x21x4 I thought if could find a 8x21x4 bearing could swap it out use corally axles but can’t find bearing that size

Show it the Dremel and it'll fall into place like it's factory fitted if it knows what's good for it 😄

Took me ages to find this lol & I’m not 💯 convinced it work without issues but Kraton hubs on a corally

A member here had the Kraton arms on a Kronos, I think it was Wally’s RC World.
The Corally uses wider hubs with shorter arms than the Arrma Kraton/Notorious. I suspect you’d need the whole assembly, arms, hubs and cvd’s. Now that Arrma has finally addressed the small balls inner hub bearings they should last much longer.

Yeah, I tried that route to, nadda.
 
I haven’t had any issues with the TC stock hubs since they updated them (2022), the previous version front hubs had issues. My 21 Kronos XTR had the first version, pivot balls popped out pretty easily. I treated my Kronos to a rebuilt set of Kraton shocks over the winter, but otherwise it’s pretty much the same as when I bought it late 2021. Center diff has been replaced (JennysRC) since the drive cups were knackered. Otherwise it’s been a treat to own.
 
I’ve been replacing with the HD ones have been very happy but didn’t have any issues with the stock ones either. Jenny’s has been great there get the hubs bearings etc for a better price than I can ordering all separately
