Learn which BEZGAR models use 16150 and 16130 chassis parts, how to check compatibility, and a step-by-step process for swapping a damaged RC chassis.

Quick answer

The BEZGAR 16150 and 16130 chassis parts set is an original replacement for HP161, HP161S, and HP163S models. Swap the chassis when the tub is cracked, stripped at a mounting point, or bent enough to misalign the drivetrain, and confirm your model number before ordering.

Why the model check comes before the repair

Chassis parts look similar across RC cars, but mounting holes and part numbers differ. The supplied set lists 16150 and 16130 as its part numbers and names HP161, HP161S, and HP163S as the applicable models. If your car is not one of those, this set is not the right starting point, even if the shape looks close.

This matters because a chassis is a structural part, not a trim piece. A tub that fits poorly can stress the gearbox, motor mount, or suspension mounts and turn one repair into several.

When a chassis can be repaired instead of replaced

Not every crack means a full swap. A small crack away from screw holes and load-bearing areas may hold with a proper plastic repair, but a stripped screw hole at the bulkhead, shock tower, or gearbox mount usually will not. If the car sits unevenly on a flat surface or the drivetrain binds after a hard impact, replacement is the safer choice.

Also check the parts around the chassis before you commit. A bent motor mount or worn steering link can mimic chassis damage, and replacing only the tub will not fix those.

Step-by-step chassis swap

Confirm the model and part numbers: Check the model label or manual on your car and confirm it is an HP161, HP161S, or HP163S. Compare the part numbers on your old chassis with 16150 and 16130 before removing anything. If the model or part number does not match, stop and identify the correct part before disassembly.
Photograph the layout and remove the body: Take clear photos of the top and bottom of the chassis before you unplug or unscrew anything. Remove the body and any components that block access to the chassis screws. A photo taken before disassembly is faster than guessing where a screw or wire belongs later.
Disconnect power and remove the drivetrain: Unplug the battery first, then remove the motor, ESC, servo, and driveshafts as needed. Keep screws grouped by location rather than in one pile. Never leave the battery connected while working on a chassis that may short against metal tools.
Transfer components to the new chassis: Move the gearbox, motor mount, suspension mounts, and steering parts to the matching locations on the 16150/16130 chassis. Start screws by hand and tighten them evenly rather than fully torquing one side first. A screw that will not start by hand is usually in the wrong hole, not too tight.
Check drivetrain alignment before final tightening: Spin the driveshafts and check that the gear mesh turns freely. Look for any bind at the gearbox or motor mount before you fully tighten the chassis screws. A binding drivetrain after assembly often means a component is seated crooked, not that the chassis is wrong.
Reconnect and test at low speed: Reconnect the battery and test the car at low speed with the wheels off the ground first. Listen for grinding or rubbing, then run it gently on the ground before a full run. If you hear grinding, stop and recheck the gear mesh and driveshaft seating before driving further.
