| Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
The Undercover Agent is Y-town design and quality rolled into a scale chassis. Ultra light and strong 1/8" carbon fiber Clearance for maximum suspension travel Can be set up to run 3.5" or 4" shocks Includes rear shock mount extenders for running rear trailing arms Includes carbon chassis brace/servo winch mount Works with stock bumpers and sliders, and most(if not all) aftermarket pieces. RECON certified for 2015-2016 The prototype Undercover Agent completed a scorching 22 laps in this year's RECON "The Fix" 12hr G6...The chassis and suspension setup worked beautifully and were good enough for a BIG margin of victory over 2nd place. |

Would the VP CMS mount bolt up to your chassis?

Looks awesome and I like your stuff, especially your U4 stuff. But how is this not considered TVP? Confirmed SORRCA legal? |

The SORRCA rules committee has traditionally been pretty relaxed on what constitutes a "rail chassis". There is also a long precedent of allowing rail chassis with drop frames, like the Reign K2 chassis, RCBro's burly conversion, ect. One of these also ran at Nationals and no one had any issues with it. |

| Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
Jake, any chance you could design this with a single rail so it looks more like a scale chassis? Unfortunately SORRCA will be cracking down on TVP looking chassis in the future. I know you have good intentions, so I figured I'd give you a heads up.

Sad to see when you clean up a comp that it has to be the chassis...... lame. Rules rules rules. No wonder the comp scene is dead. So when some 10 yr old kid shows up with his super sick ytown scaler ,he cant run cuz it dosnt meet a rule... juuuuunnnnkkkkk...

I purchased mine with a little design tweak. With another tweak it should be no questions asked legal. RC4WD Team Driver*Krawl Off-Road |

| Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis A single rail meaning separate shocks towers?

No, the towers can be integrated. No extra frame extensions or multi piece frame rails. The machined out area that forms a brace of sorts is the questionable area on this one. But as stated, they will work with you on minor tweaks. RC4WD Team Driver*Krawl Off-Road |

Would a similar shape without the cutouts in the side rail be legal? Do you think that there will be any material restrictions in the future also? I have steel and aluminum chassis available now along with the carbon one to hopefully cover all the bases. | |
