Well, the integy ones you listed work with the stock axles that use dogbones.
The hot racing ones are similar to the integy's and use the stock axles.
There are two HPI "Nubs" ones. A normal set that uses dogbones:

Axles don't work with the larger XL dogbones. This kit is for the smaller dog bone savages.
And a set that replace the axles with cvd's that are more expensive to replace when they wear out. I can't find those anymore, but pretty sure a buddy of mine had them many years ago.
The cheapest route is to use the HPI 17mm hubs with flange nuts (what I run on mine, no reverse threads):

Or 2 of

Depends if you have black and silver (normal/reverse thread) axles now.
I do like those integy ones though. The stupid flange nuts that HPI makes strip really easily and can be a bear to get them off the axles.

Yeah i'm just going with the nubz conversion hpi is sending me a kit out for free because i called to consult with them about these fitting the stock xl stub axles and they said they would and of course they do slide onto the stub axle 8mm but the roll/dowel pin that holds the hub on are to big and i do not want to modify my xl axles so i'm going to go with the nubz set i might be losing a little bit of stance but i don't care i have different wheels and tires now for it so it will look like a hpi ss kit with an extended chassis.
