Quick Answer
Installing a car shell bracket on your HM163 or HM164 is straightforward. The key is to align the bracket with the original shell mounting points and secure it without overtightening.
Why Bracket Alignment Matters
A misaligned bracket can cause your RC car's body shell to sit crooked, leading to poor aerodynamics and potential damage during runs. The bracket (35-SJ06) is designed for a direct fit on HM163 and HM164 models, so take time to match it to the original attachment points.
Installation Steps
- Step 1: Prepare Your Tools and Work Area: Gather a small Phillips-head screwdriver and a clean, well-lit workspace. Remove the old bracket if present and inspect the mounting holes on your chassis for debris. Check that the screw holes are clear and undamaged before proceeding.
- Step 2: Align the Bracket with the Mounting Points: Position the BEZGAR Car Shell Bracket (35-SJ06) so its holes line up exactly with the original shell attachment points on your HM163 or HM164 chassis. Do not force the bracket into place. If the holes do not align, double-check that you have the correct bracket for your model.
- Step 3: Insert and Tighten the Screws: Start all screws by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten them evenly with a screwdriver. Stop as soon as the bracket feels snug. Overtightening can strip the plastic threads or crack the bracket.
- Step 4: Test Fit the Body Shell: Place your RC car's body shell onto the installed bracket. It should clip or screw on without excessive force. If the shell wobbles or sits unevenly, recheck bracket alignment. A properly mounted shell should not move when you gently push it from the side.
