I have a 1994 FZJ80, and the high beams are not switching on. The indicator on the dash comes on, but the lights do not. If the headlights are turned off, when the stalk is pulled to flash the lights, only the low beams flash, the high beams do not. I have a set of auxiliary driving lights wired...

I'd be happy just to find the correct size replacement gas strut for my 80's BIO swing-out.

Oh, best part of the 45 build...

The truck is a relatively stock Axial SCX10.3, with a full styrene body I found on eBay - because why do we need another Jeep bodied RC, and if it's got portals, it should really be a 'Mog. The body is a tad pricey at $200+ USD, but the detail & quality are top-notch! The seller has a few...

Yep, it is who you think it is.

Here's your FSM: 40, 50, 60, and 80 series FSM for a hell of a price. Between the FSM, Mud, some basic tools & supplies, you'll be good to go!

Yeah... the problem is I've run out of shelf space.

Here it is before paint. The cab & rear bed/roll bar are all part of the body kit. They're 2 separate sections, which gives you creative freedoms. A big bonus is that the cab is a full rear panel, not a huge cutout below the window, etc. The grill, wipers, snorkel, mirrors, etc are all included...

@Michael B Here's a cleaner shot for you.

I'd go with any of the Axial SCX10 platforms, then pop the MST J45C body on it. Axial parts are readily available damn near everywhere! That's the route I went: SCX10.2 with a Vanquish VS4-10 chassis conversion, and the J45C body from MST.

A couple of other "micro" options, Axial SCX24 & Element RC Enduro24. Both come from long-time established brands & have good parts support through most hobby shops. https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/asc20180.htm https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/axi90081t2.htm
