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.

Me Likey. Need to get one of these. Parts going on sale.:mrgreen:

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Would the VP CMS mount bolt up to your chassis?

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Man i love this chassi$. Whats the weight of these bad boys? Thanks jake.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Looks awesome and I like your stuff, especially your U4 stuff.

But how is this not considered TVP? Confirmed SORRCA legal?

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

I believe its not a tvp due to being full length chassis and not just a small center section like the ax10

jake ran this chassis at the 2016 scale nationals so I would want to think its legal

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

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. "thumbsup"

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Order placed! Should be an interesting new build!

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

I'm waiting on one as well, can't wait to start on the rebuild of the Sammy.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

I need to get one too, to go along with my trick Y-town BTA servo mount, also in CF...


SICK Jake, keep it up!


Need an apprentice? hehe

:mrgreen:

More chassis coming up shortly. We'll have a 4130 builder's version and aluminum trail version in stock soon

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

any price difference for the different materials?

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.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

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...

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

I purchased mine with a little design tweak. With another tweak it should be no questions asked legal.

I bought this chassis to run on my Class 2 rig guess I still won't get to compete. Oh well I will the drive the shit out of it because I love this chassis.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

We are trying to do something before all these crazy, non scale looking chassis make scale comps go the way of regular comps. If designers would just stick to a scale looking products then we wouldn't feel the need to regulate regulate regulate.

Do you think this is scale looking in the least?

Sounds like you have it covered, good for you.

Awesome! But you guys understand we have to draw the line somewhere right?

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

A single rail meaning separate shocks towers?

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

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.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

I appreciate the heads up "thumbsup" I agree with you on the scale rules, and I honestly didn't design the chassis with SORRCA competition in mind. I hope it doesn't come across that I'm trying to push comp technology into the scale competition realm. The UA is designed for all-around U4/trail/crawling performance more so then a specific set of scale comp rules.

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.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

I probably should have just PM'd you about this, sorry for mucking up your thread. There may be some changes in the rules as far as chassis appearance goes. We are trying to get away from the TVP look plates so at a glance there isn't a question about legality. Also, carbon fiber may need to be painted black to be legal for SORRCA events. These are mostly appearance items. Is the cutout/brace on the sides a structural part of the chassis or more for appearance? We are hoping to find a happy medium so vendors can still produce aftermarket chassis that are cool and unique but still fit the "spirit of scale". I watched you playing around with this chassis at Scale Nats in Arizona, and it definitely works!

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

No problem Tim, I've been getting questions from customers who want to run in SORRCA, so I don't mind the discussion being here. "thumbsup"

The chassis would be strong enough for scale/trail comps without the upper brace at all. I added it in for extra strengh for racing U4 and high speed G6 runs.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

I must chime in on this issue as I have seen it on other venues. As an owner of one of these chassis and other "questionable" chassis I can definitely see that the scale world and the comp world are getting very close. As builders/compete we all try and push the limits on something hat can give us an advantage or put us on the podium.
While I agree a line needs to be drawn there must be a place for the innovation and imagination of guys like Jake and Ben and others. I think this newer scale chassis scene might even help the 2.2m and 2.2s workd in the immediate future. It's a much simpler transition to go from a full blown comp rig to a "super scaler" of you will.
I've seen more new guys enter the hobby here lately with interest in new chassis and newer crawler technology and isn't that what we want ? All and all there is room for both scale and whatever you want to call this new craze of awesomeness.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

On that note....here is my UA! With the body on it, you can't see the chassis or the CF for that matter.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Very nice. We need to add some proper body off shots for this thread though :mrgreen:

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Will get a few this weekend. Transmission is supposed to be here Saturday.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Hay Jake how much to get one posted to Brisbane Australia. It looks MINT.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

That beautiful chassis isn't one of mine, but I can ship our Undercover Agent for an extra $10-15 to AUS with no problems.

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

Sorry to bump an old thread! I'm kinda new to this and I just got this chassis, are there any tips on how to get everything installed and setup?

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

After driling 2 new holes it seems to work great with Capra Skid ;)

Re: Y-Town Undercover Agent Scale chassis
 

What are you doing with the shocks? Mounting them inside the chassis rails?
