The Workshop

Little Overlanders was founded on a simple thesis: if Brabus can build a Mercedes worth a million dollars, somebody can do the same for the vehicle parked in the driveway next to it — the one with the cup holder and the AAA-battery horn.

Every commission begins as a stripped chassis on the bench. We discard the OEM electronics, scrap the plastic suspension, and start over: brushless motors, lithium chemistry, billet aluminum, chromoly tube.

Bodies are media-blasted, primed, and ceramic-finished in our paint booth. Interiors are upholstered in full-grain leather with contrast stitching. Every cage is hand-bent and TIG-welded by the same fabricator — no contract shops, no offshoring, no shortcuts.

A finished Little Overlanders vehicle ships fully assembled, range-tested, and bound to its parental remote. It arrives the way a real car would: in a covered transport, with a binder of build documentation, photographed for the archive.

The Process

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We talk. Chassis, height of the rider, terrain, ambition, budget. We send a proposal within 48 hours.

  2. 02

    Reservation

    A $500 deposit holds your place in the build queue. Currently 6–10 weeks out.

  3. 03

    Strip & Reinforce

    Donor chassis stripped. Frame welds reinforced. Suspension geometry corrected.

  4. 04

    Drivetrain

    Brushless motors, controllers, lithium pack installed. Bench-tuned for response and range.

  5. 05

    Cage & Cosmetic

    Chromoly cage TIG-welded in. Ceramic wrap applied. Carbon overlays laminated.

  6. 06

    QA & Delivery

    Range tested, telemetry paired, parental remote bound. Shipped covered transport.
