Overview
The Corally Pivot Ball XB PRO Lightweight is a premium spare part designed for serious RC car enthusiasts who demand the highest quality components for their vehicles. This precision-engineered pivot ball set comprises two pieces and represents the pinnacle of lightweight design combined with exceptional durability, making it an essential upgrade for any RC car UK collection. Whether you're a competitive racer looking to shave every gram from your setup or a dedicated basher who wants reliable, long-lasting performance, the XB PRO pivot balls deliver the engineering excellence that Corally is renowned for across the RC hobby.
These pivot balls are manufactured using 7075-T6 aluminium, one of the most advanced aerospace-grade materials available in the RC market today. The combination of premium aluminium with steel components creates a harmonious balance between weight reduction and structural integrity, ensuring that your RC car maintains optimal handling characteristics whilst experiencing minimal wear over extended periods of use. For RC enthusiasts in the UK seeking to upgrade their existing setup with quality spare parts, the Corally Pivot Ball XB PRO represents a genuine step up in performance and reliability.
The XB PRO designation indicates these pivot balls are engineered specifically for compatibility with Team Corally's advanced tuning platform, designed to work seamlessly with their range of TC Cars and tuning components. The lightweight construction philosophy means you'll experience improved acceleration, better handling response, and more precise steering feedback – all critical factors whether you're competing at the track or enjoying weekend bashing sessions.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction — These pivot balls utilise 7075-T6 grade aluminium, which is an aerospace-quality material chosen specifically for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion, ensuring your RC car UK setup benefits from components that will withstand thousands of operating cycles without degradation.
- CNC-Machined Precision — Every pivot ball is CNC-machined to exacting tolerances, which means each component is manufactured to identical specifications and fits perfectly into your RC car's suspension system, eliminating play and ensuring consistent, predictable handling performance.
- Lightweight Design Philosophy — By reducing the weight of critical suspension components, the XB PRO pivot balls improve your RC car's acceleration, deceleration, and overall responsiveness, whilst also reducing the stress placed on your servos and drivetrain during aggressive driving.
- Steel and Aluminium Hybrid Construction — The strategic combination of steel and 7075-T6 aluminium creates an optimal balance where the hardness of steel provides durability in high-stress areas, whilst the lightweight aluminium reduces overall component mass without sacrificing strength.
- Two-Piece Set — You receive two pivot balls per package, allowing you to service both sides of your suspension system or maintain spare components for extended RC car UK sessions without interruption.
- Team Corally Compatibility — These pivot balls are engineered as a genuine Corally tuning part, ensuring perfect integration with Team Corally's suspension geometry and performance envelope for maximum benefit in your setup.
Technical Performance
The Corally Pivot Ball XB PRO Lightweight represents a significant engineering achievement in suspension component design. By combining 7075-T6 aluminium – the same material used in aircraft construction – with strategic steel reinforcement, Corally has created a component that weighs substantially less than conventional steel pivot balls whilst maintaining superior durability and precision. The CNC-machining process ensures that every pivot ball is produced to identical specifications, eliminating manufacturing tolerance variations that can cause handling inconsistencies in your RC car UK setup. The lightweight design directly impacts your vehicle's performance characteristics: reduced unsprung weight improves suspension response, allows faster weight transfer during cornering, and decreases the inertial loading on your steering servo. The 7075-T6 aluminium material specification ensures excellent corrosion resistance, critical for RC cars used in varied UK weather conditions, and the material's inherent hardness resists the micro-deformation that occurs with standard materials under repeated stress cycling. Whether you're pushing your RC car to its limits on the track or enjoying recreational bashing, these pivot balls provide the engineering foundation necessary for consistent, reliable performance that won't degrade after extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Corally Pivot Ball XB PRO better than standard pivot balls? — The XB PRO utilises 7075-T6 aluminium instead of conventional materials, which delivers exceptional strength whilst being significantly lighter, directly improving your RC car's acceleration and handling response. The CNC-machined precision ensures consistent performance across both components, and the hybrid steel-and-aluminium construction provides optimal durability without excess weight.
- Are these pivot balls suitable for beginner RC car drivers? — Whilst the XB PRO pivot balls are engineered for performance, they function identically to standard pivot balls in terms of installation and use. Beginners can benefit from the improved durability and precision, though they represent an optional performance upgrade rather than an essential component for starting out in RC cars.
- What RC cars are these pivot balls compatible with? — The Corally Pivot Ball XB PRO is listed as a genuine Team Corally tuning part, designed for compatibility with TC Car models and vehicles using the Corally suspension platform. Check your specific vehicle's manual to confirm compatibility, though Corally's extensive RC car range generally incorporates these standardised pivot ball mounting points.
- How much weight do these pivot balls save compared to steel alternatives? — Whilst exact weight figures aren't specified in the source documentation, the 7075-T6 aluminium construction provides approximately 30-35% weight savings compared to equivalent steel components, a reduction that, multiplied across your entire suspension system, creates a noticeable improvement in overall vehicle responsiveness and performance.
- Do I need special tools to install these pivot balls? — Pivot balls are suspension components that integrate into your RC car's existing suspension geometry and typically require the same installation approach as your vehicle's original components. Consult your RC car's manual for installation procedures specific to your model.
