Ddub, here is what im working on. No buffing on this thing. 20 lbs lighter than a TK and same engine. Go Baby Go! Be on the grass in 3 lakes WI on the 26th of july.  We did run it this spring with a 340 in it at a race. Didn't win the class but did ok  |

I got one of those. Same sled I grew up on. My Grampa used to take his to Yellowstone back in 77. Used to always kick my buddy's butt on his Yamaha 44oSS

I think Chris, that it has the potential to be faster than our TK's. The rear suspension is lighter but it has a steel bulk head. Worried a little about weight transfer. Waiting on some engine stuff then testing will start.

20 lbs lighter! Humm, I could loose 100 lbs and still be heavier than any of your racers. Houston we have a problem!
A good friend of mine's son has a early Sting. I know it hasn't been touched for a number of years. I am quite confident I am going to end up with it.
What was different on the early Stings to the Whips?

From what I know about em is they are the same as a little whip with a longer tunnel. They use off set ski spindels to get a wider ski stance. Pararail has no cross shafts, wheels are mounted to brackets on rails.Chain case is spaced out away from tunnel also. No reason this sled shouldn't compete.

I think I gotta pull my grampas out and put that motor I got from you in it. The cdi motor from that 80. Try to give you star prairie guys a race one these times!!
Will the straight plugs fit under hood of a 77? Also a mikuni. I'd still be stock right?
whos going to pilot yours down the grass?
I think it should be you against me. Lol!
We both weigh about the same.
O shit! Look out

 here it is. Went up north and dragged it home tonight. Forgot how much I liked it. Its actually my grampas sled. A few years ago he drove up to meet Tyler from north Dakota to pick up a stingeroo for me and also got this one for $250. Its in nice shape but last time I had it out it got hot and fouled out too much. Think I should race it? You and me obj1!! |

So I could just put angle plug heads on that cdi motor and be good? Notice the side sticker is different. I like the black one better. Mine is a 77 is yours a 78?

Hey obj1, You got a side profile pic of yours ? I want to build one of these up for next winter. Have a couple cool things planned for it. Mine will only have a puny little 340 in it  not sure if it will be shiny or blah yet. |

I hope its a 340 ROTAX. I'll get ya a pic soon. I have a Rotax 340 type 354. Would that make one scoot? Would it fit in stock classes? |

No. . it won't be a Rotax. Much cooler than that !!
Pararailer. . . Yes, that would be the correct pipe if that was your pic was for. Thus the term the "Sting" pipe. In just Range Whip trim, it wouldn't have had that pipe.
