KKPIT has officially released the KSC10E V1.1 Conversion Kit, a 21-piece update built to take the KONE SP platform to the next level. It's a full rethink of the chassis around three things: less weight, sharper roll-center geometry, and a stiffer overall structure.
This isn't a kit built on guesswork — it was proven on track at the National RC Championship in China, where the updated platform held up under race-day conditions before ever reaching customers.
Headlining the update are several all-new parts for 2026, including the TKR Competition Center Link Brace, TKR aluminum spindle carriers, a forward CG battery mount, a competition diff cover, and a set of lightweight bumpers front and rear. Round that out with a carbon fiber topdeck, an adjustable-length servo saver, and a full hardware refresh, and the KSC10E V1.1 touches nearly every corner of the car.
The result is a chassis tuned specifically for 2S short course competition — lighter up front, more planted through corners, and stiff enough to hold its line through hard landings. Full parts breakdown and availability details coming to the shop soon.
Team KKPIT Racing PH driver Matthew Galicha put in a statement performance at the Final Leg of the Vintage Carpet Series at AE Raceway, qualifying quickest of the day for top qualifier honors before backing it up with a 2nd place finish in the main.
Galicha had the pace to go all the way — TQ runs showed it — but a wheel issue mid-main cost him precious seconds he couldn't quite claw back, settling for the runner-up spot instead of the win. Still a strong result to close out the series.
Fellow TKR PH driver Brien Navalta also had a solid showing, rounding out the day with a 4th place finish overall.
Congrats to the whole Team KKPIT Racing PH crew on the results — see you at the next one.
We brought our KONE SCT out for a weekend at the track running the "Cyclone Effect" livery — magenta, cyan, and volt yellow over the KBT short course chassis, riding on a fresh set of 51006 Destroyer Stellarun tires.
The car spent the day on jump sections and berm-heavy layouts that punished suspension geometry, and the KBT chassis held its line through the rough stuff without much drama. A couple of setup tweaks between runs — mainly ride height and sway bar preload — got the balance where we wanted it by the afternoon session.
If you're running the same SCT body kit or a KBT-chassis build, our shop has the full parts breakdown in stock — driveshafts, shock towers, suspension arms, and the rest of what keeps a short course truck together after a hard weekend of bashing.
