I am sending my latest model to NABX 2012 to do some speed runs. I will not be there try the speed runs myself but have a few volunteers already.
Any (experienced) rider is welcome to take it for a ride. Alex (Ihatework) and Dino (Dakitez) will be the guys you need to talk to.
After the event , I would like to sell it if anyone is interested. If not, it will reside in northern california. The buggy will have the standard
Peter Lynn plastic rims. The aluminum rims are mine and are not forsale 
It is powdercoated a texture black. It will have a mudguard. The pic below shows a piece of cardboard mockup.
Asking price is $1200 O.B.O delivered to NABX ($1499 retail ). The Stinger is a limited production so here's your chance to buy one. It's a medium
size so should fit most folks.

Nice! Love the rims too!

Those rims will never be forsale ..haha.. they are custom made from what I heard. I got them from my buddy Alex as a present. I think they were
custom machine made out of aluminum and are discontinued.

Color me interested.
What are the design, development, evolution differences between the original Black Widow, the Scorpion and the Stinger?
Will the fork take a BF?

Black widow was the all around stable buggy for everyday cruising or high speed.
Scorpion was the stinger's old name. Scorpion name is now reserved for future buggy. Stinger is a smaller buggy between the black widow and cricket.
It was design with almost zero trail for easy turning but still stable runs. It has the coveted curved rails to allow your arms to have a resting
spot. The fork was redesign have an agressive look. Let's just say it was design to compete against other's $2500 buggies at half the price. The
current fork is fitted for barrows. I do have a bigfoot fork that was design specifically for this buggy also. If someone is interested, I'm sure a
deal can be worked out for 2 forks. The bf fork requires a longer downtube also.

Buggy went home with Cerebrite ( John??) after NABX. Looks like the Stinger buggy is a success. I hope everyone that wanted to try it out got a
chance. A couple minor changes will be made for the next one. The feedback so far has been positive so production will start soon on the Stinger.
If all goes right, it will be offered with the Seismic aluminum rims as an option. I know you guys like bling !!
