It will not fit on the type-S as you have a different arm mount holding the suspension pins.

Since the weather will be hotter (here in Southern Italy temperature is 30-35°C), I'm thinking about installing a motor heatsink. I check motor temperature every 5 mins with an IR thermometer and I read about 40-50°C. Do you think I'll need an heatsink? Is it normal that it is hotter near the pinion?

if you are driving it in the street your ESC fan shouldn't need extra protection
In my tt02 I ran a 9t motor geared around with a 22 pinion. If you're concerned put on a heatsink + fan for it. You can get many from Rcmart. When I took my TT02 for rally on an off road track from memory it stayed around 60c with air temp in the low 20s within a 10 minute run.
I've never had issues with the ESC fan get caught with debris etc. Only had a fan die on me probably from shock when I ran indoor 4wd mod buggy... (the buggy hit the wall many times)

The TT02D Type S and TT02 Type S have identical suspensions, look at the regular TT02 and TT02D manuals and you'll see they're much simpler than the Type S variants.

Hey all. Wondering if someone can answer 2 question for me:
1. Can the smaller Mini Chassis rims/wheels fit on the TT02 or 01 chassis?
2. What is the narrowest you can get the chassis - outer edge of wheel to outer edge of wheel?
Thanks for your help

Sorry my post had a typo, the regular TypeS and D TypeS are the same suspension but they as a pair are a different suspension to the basic TT02 and TT02D (those 2 are also the same as each other). The central chassis, steering and transmission are common to all.

Well, I was thinking about something rigid like a plastic cover because my esc has a fan and I'm afraid a fabric could damage it or get sucked in.

Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa for USGT class. I attempted to do an Italian flag / stripe down the length of the body... as always, that nasty paint got under the masking tape.
