Micro vibrations

[Guest]

I was speaking with a very accomplished builder from Derby Talk that won titles a few years ago. His name is Sporty and I would imagine that some of you may already be familiar with him. He had these theories on something he called micro vibrations. He did a little testing on the vibrations that travel from the wheels and into the axles. He said that it was better for the vibrations to travel thru the axles and into the body of the car rather than back out towards the wheels. He tested his theories with a tuning fork. Have you fellas any information regarding this topic. It might be top secret so if I get no responses then I understand. It seems like what he proposes is logical.

I believe that was the reason behind the tuning fork shaped cars:

I am surprised nobody has chimed in. There are a couple of guys from derbytalk who's names stir up drama around here. One of them, the main one is "sporty". There is a long history there between DD4H and some of the guys from derbytalk. I wont go into it because I have not been around that long and don't know all the details. Just try typing derbydad4hire in one of your posts over there.

I too started on Derbytalk. After some time there and trying their methods I came over here. And have never gone back.

I don't know about micro vibrations. I don't care to go that deep into pinewood theory myself. A lot of guys over on DT get carried away with that stuff, And none of them are as fast as the guys here. So I just stick with the basics I have learned here. Every car I build gets better and better.

Trying to improve, and innovate is nothing I will scoff at. Maybe micro vibrations make a difference. But if it did you would certainly see it being used here.

I say focus on the basics. Build a fast and competitive car first. And then try small innovation from there.

Unfortunately, Sporty retired from PWD racing during his study of the micro vibrations. He said he left the research with a few builders and it hasn't resurfaced that I have seen. It must be a closely guarded secret since he retired back in 2011 I believe it was.

Oh boy, now you have done it.

Hey fellas,

I now realize that there is a bunch of history here with Sporty that I had no idea about.

I am new here and don't mean to get in the way of bonding and laughing together (the cat and guy photo was hilarious) . I just want to say that I never heard Sporty say a bad word about any other racer or league. IMO Derby Talk is a great minor league gateway forum to PDDR and other leagues.

Thanks for listening.

Something is starting to smell again. People never give up.

OH Brother ,this has got nothing to do with Sporty really! More to do with the theory, this has come up before in other post with the PROS. And let's just say its been proven wrong, by engineering guys on here with a lot of OCD and a lot of time. Plus it is fun to see it come up every once in awhile. Crud, I been on this forum to long to say that. Its like a conspiracy theory that just won't die.

Now I am wondering to myself if I HAVE really done it.

LOL. You guys crack me up! I swear there needs to be a reality show! That is a good way to get thousands to join in.

Thanks,

Just wait, The GodFather hasn't chimed in yet, nor has the Chipster, or the rest of the top 10. Who really know what they are talking about/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif When you start seeing graphs and charts popping up you'll know.
