Carbon Crank arms [Easton Base mounts]
I have seen several carbon arms on sale on Aliexpress. Are there any reviews of some of these cranks. I have a Power Meter spider (Easton base mount) to be mounted with 4bolt chainrings onto arms?

It looks like you are looking for a 24mm axle option? Look through the Lexon crankset thread. People seem to have lots of issues with this design. I wanted to get 24mm version as well but ended up buying dub version from Leese and swapping the BB

I cant open your link. We've run 5 sets of racework carbon cranks (in total, probably 15-20,000km), the old design that's prone to cracking (I cracked one). I've instructed my friends not to go beyond 5.5nM, which implies re-tightening regularly. Beyond that, it's a crank, it's light, we're happy. No problems with shifting once the FD is setup properly. And the new design solves that design flaw, afaik. 170mm only, afaik.
Racework is a shitty brand to deal with, though, but their pricing is attractive.
Honestly, I would do it all over again, because of performance / value / availability. If i were buying now, though, i'd probably buy Riro ones?

Just chiming in, I have the lexon 24mm version with Xcadey powermeter as spider, I have had zero issues and it works perfectly. Also it looks sick. I've done over 3k km on it, no problems.
