The Tramp's Mighty FC

Combing the thrift store, I stumbled onto a discontinued Dick Tracy action figure called The Tramp. Released in 1990, the figure was only on the shelves for a couple weeks before being pulled because of complaints from the public. Apparently, a homeless bum that uses children to do his dirty work is offensive to some people. This little figure inspired me to create a new build with a body that was equally unique and rare. At the local hobby shop, they had an Axial Mighty FC body that had been hanging by the window for years. It called out to me, so I snatched it up with fresh paint supplies and got to work. I added fresh bumpers, magnetic body mounts, and a new beefy all-steel transmission with reverse gearing to stop wheel lift. Compared to my old aluminum arms, the solid stainless control arms and steering link slide over the jagged rocks much better.
