Re: Overland: What Mods?

Welcome 🙂

I’ve only just secured myself an overland but from our experience in selling parts the overlands have very few weak spots.

You should look at investing in some alloy suspension mounts as these tend to get broken. After that the most common failure seesm to be ripping the ball joints out of hte gearbox and servo cases. Easiest fix is just to replace the parts as they break – and try not to hit things as hard 😉

Cover the basics like Bearings (for under $20) and a carefull check of rolling resistance (Free) first.

To get more speed you could try a PN Speedy05 or Speedy05BB or even an NM if you want stump pulling torque. These motros will all run well with stock FETs, once you move to hotter motors you need to consider FET stacks (IRF7317) or an External turbo (Spider or WoahNelly).

We’ve found a lot of people are happy running a Spider and PN Saber motor in Monsters and Overlands. It’s a quick and torquey combo that still can be driven gently around the house.
