Glad to see you here & Welcome! :)


But what are you into?
Do you just built & sell? or do you also run your products off road your self?

Me and another guy share a shop. He does lifts on trucks and is into 4-wheeling, so much so that he built a four wheel drive park.

I have been building rearends for many years.

Together we saw the need for the Hi9 and developed it.

I was heavy into circle track racing for years and learned the most important thing to winning races is knowledge. I feel that has helped develop the Hi9 into what it is today.

We originally knew it would be higher, shorter, lighter, and have more ground clearance than a high pinion Dana 60. We felt it would be stronger also. We have come to find out over the last 3 plus years that it is about twice as strong as a high pinion Dana 60.

What park & where is it?

Did you actually drive the race car? Or Pit work or what?

A few years back I considered buying one of your Hi9's & I probably even spoke to you on the phone about it. :)

Unfortunatly after four years the park is no longer active due to very few people wanting to help and gas prices pushing most of the wheelers out of the hobby/sport in our area.


I did not drive. I built some of the motors, most of the trannys, and all the rear ends. I studied the chassis part quite a bit which makes racing a lot easier. A person has many adjustments that will make a car handle different like shocks, stagger, springs, wheel offsets, panhard bars locations, weight placement, roll centers, just to name a few. But each adjustment affects things differently even though the initial goal is to make the car tighter or looser and having the most info and common sense helps a person choose which adjustment to make.

If you called here you either talked to me or the other fella. We are just a two person operation.
