Pinewood League Car Kit – Stinger

Meet the Pinewood League Car Kit – Stinger, crafted for those seeking to boost their Pinewood Derby skills. This entry-level league kit offers everything needed to get competitive, featuring top-tier parts in a simple, easy-to-assemble package. The Stinger is inspired by adult pinewood derby racing leagues, bringing speed, control, and customizable options to newer builders.

Designed for serious speed, the Stinger kit combines a lightweight, pre-shaped wafer car body with aerodynamic fins crafted to reduce drag and deliver optimal track performance. The aerodynamic balsa wood fins are split into two parts, ensuring first-time builders achieve correct track clearance without the dreaded “fin rub” on the rail. These fins are 3/8″ thick, creating a finished width of 2.5” and can be easily glued together using your adhesive of choice.

What’s Inside the Stinger Kit

The Stinger Pinewood Derby Kit is designed to simplify the building process while packing high-performance components for a competitive edge. The body is crafted from kiln-dried ponderosa pine, forming a 1/4″ thick wafer plank with weight pockets on the underside for precise weight adjustment. The body comes in either BSA axle slots or drilled wheelbases, making it versatile for a variety of race formats. Additionally, it’s designed for rail riding or straight-shooting, with options for three or four wheels touching.

The kit includes competitive racing axles and wheels of your choice, laser-cut, CNC-polished, and lathed to ensure smooth rotation and high speed. The Stinger kit makes installation straightforward, offering pre-drilled and polished axles and lightly lathed Derby Dust® wheels.

Customizable Weight and Performance Options

Choose between the ultra-slim flat lead topper, which keeps your center of gravity low, or tungsten cubes to maximize mass beneath the car body. Both weight options ensure your vehicle reaches peak momentum while remaining under 5 ounces.

Assembly is Simple with Customization Options

From polished speed axles and lightweight wheels to wheel bore polishing, the Stinger kit has customizable options to align with any pack’s rules. It even includes a gap gauge, #44 drill bit, foil tape, and Derby Dust® dry lube for easy setup. Detailed instructions and a YouTube tutorial link guide you through the assembly, ensuring your Stinger hits the track with full force.

Whether it’s your first pinewood derby or you’re seeking an edge, the Pinewood League Car Kit – Stinger delivers high performance and simple assembly.
