Velocity chassis size

Hi!

Is the Velocity chassis size the same as the book chassis?
Would the bodywork made for locost/book chassis fit a Velocity?

As far as I know they are very nearly the same. I am fitting Velocity bodywork to a Stuart taylor (pretty much the book chassis) and everything seems to fit apart from the rear panel, which will have to be modified slightly to fit.

I believe its th same size as Book,
However the bodywork is approx 2" taller to accomodate Pinto Engines.

However I am not 100% sure.

My Viento body definately would not fit

IIRC Danzoman is fitting Velocity body panels to a Luego locost chassis

Thanks for the answers!

So the Velocity body (nose, shutle and bonnet) is higher than a locost body, but the chassis has the same dimensions?

Also, has there been a model named only "Velocity" or is "Velocity" and "Velocity XT" the same?

the only one that is done is the xt which is xtra track width
