Maxtrax Replacement Teeth Kit
Do you have melted teeth on your Maxtrax? Now you can get your Maxtrax working better than new with these replacement teeth. Save money and repair your favourite recovery aid.
Replace your melted teeth with these traction studs.
These teeth are strong and will not melt. CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminium and supplied with a stainless steel nut.
They will make your worn Maxtrax work like they were supposed to, allowing the tyres to grip the track and pull it under the wheel.
Designed with a shallow nut so that you are still able to stack trax on top of each other.
Easy installation
- Cut the worn tooth away with a sharp utility knife and get the mating surface as flat as possible.
- Drill an 8mm hole in the centre of the tooth pad
- Insert the tooth and tighten the nut. The thread is purposely made tight to prevent the nut from loosening.

Angle grinder and a dozen short bolts with nylocks. ten minute job, all available from bunnings.

@harveysmith100 6 лет назад

I was thinking the same.

@Sixes350 5 лет назад

and a hell of a lot cheaper than the $24 for only 4 studs as advertised!

@4BoltClevo 4 года назад

Yeah now they have the maxtrax xtremes and they're 500 bucks a pair. Like it costs them 250 bucks to whack aluminium studs in. I'm getting a shitload of 316 bolts and nylocks and repairing mine

@4BoltClevo Год назад

@@billdickson1142 I replaced a few. It works well. I think I used 304 SS as they were about 30 cents each in M8x16mm. Like someone else said on here, I might try M8x16mm socket head cap screws next time and use the head for the tyre to grip to. They're about the same price and would look smicko

@DonatoXlll 7 лет назад

wow the first 3 rows shoulda just come like this.

@DansDrives 7 лет назад

Yeah, this would solve a lot of problems right off the get go.

@colslaw69 7 лет назад

Daniel Iannantuoni I agree especially for the price you pay the ramp part should have metal studs

@melvinarias1044 7 лет назад

Daniel Iannantuoni i thought the same but after some time thinking i wonder the reason for having them plastic was to protect your tires from burning grooves into your tires. i rather have the mat burn or damage then rather my expensive tires. could you imagine spinning your tires on these after a few mins those steel knobs will cut away into your nice tires. the best thing is dont spin them have someone out there looking at yoyr wheels.

@tacovipecot8029 2 года назад

Good thing Action Trax come this way now

@MangAnimE001 7 лет назад

I'd drill the hole first (from under-side), then sand the top. Using a centre punch (or even a nail) to mark the centre helps to stop the drill from "wandering".

@jetstreamer3 5 лет назад

Rather than cutting away mangled plastic I imagine an iron and some parchment paper/aluminum foil (to protect iron) would melt them flat and then you would have extra plastic reinforcing your new hardware. (Hardware found much cheaper at a local hardware store.)

@micahwest5347 3 года назад

Max Trax on there way, now trying to decide on either a Runva or Warn winch for my Ford 2014 F150 FX4 5.0 Supercrew

@MadRS 3 года назад

Use M10 socket head bolts instead. Much cheaper and work great. I even put a few washers under the head to increase height of the stud for the tyre to grip to.

@grappler185 7 лет назад

I'm thinking about buying the MaxTrax an replacing the first 4 rows with the replacement studs. Do the MaxTrax stack the same with the replacement studs?

@milestonememories 7 лет назад

grappler185 yes the maxtrax are still stackable with the metal studs on.

@chrisfisher3900 7 лет назад

Be a good option just buying the tracks new. Buy,replace all stubs right out of the box then no worries. I would locktite them though.

@Sjackson2369 5 лет назад

that was my first thought. blue locktite to keep them from going anywhere.

@hanglooserecluse 3 года назад

Im gonna try aluminium football boot studs and see how they go. $10 for 12 studs, way cheaper than these things

@richnegs5828 2 года назад

That’s a crackin idea!!

@LukeMcFadden 8 лет назад

How have these done? Do they eat up your tires?

@calvin3448 6 лет назад

Rocks are sharper. These are ok for your tire if they are good.

@adrianreyes640 4 года назад

@@MightyJosh1985 same thing i was thinking, this metal will not burn on spin, our tires will... But yeah, maybe try to avoid will spin to save the tires.

@milestonememories 8 лет назад

They are made from aluminum. No worse than rocks etc. if you don't spin your tyres, it shouldn't chew them up.

@robertwilson1827 2 года назад

He wasn't driving the vehicle that damaged these. 😊

@georgesaliazar8622 4 года назад

Are these studs only on ebay? Because I couldn't found them on Amazon

@KAONaust 4 года назад

Georges Aliazar - they are also available for purchase on our web store www.kaon.com.au. We are not in Amazon yet.

@RyanGr33n 3 года назад

Nice hack. Whats the hack for replacing your BFGs when you spin again and shred them on those metal bolts?

@willf1485 Год назад

yeah the hack here is quite simple, its called dont be a spud

@labrunner_t4r_ 6 лет назад

Thats awesome... they should sell them with those metal studs in the first place. I just got my first set of Maxtrax, and that's my fear is I'll help someone and they'll tear them up.

@calvin3448 6 лет назад

You don’t have to worry about them if u use them properly.

@labrunner_t4r_ 6 лет назад

Touché

@andhon Год назад

Thats whta happened to me, helped someone during a snow storm and they just grinded like 12 studs 😮‍💨

@preferredstock9338 6 лет назад

This product should have come with metal studs already to match it's lifetime warranty

@maccawsome1 4 года назад

Preferred Stock only 2 year warranty on maxtrax

@MrMrsregor 2 года назад

Now they do have that (for almost twice the price)

@howlinblues 3 года назад

Nut n bolt washer n spring washer and hand file all you need der

@timberwolf3616 Год назад

Do they still stack after you do this?

@KAONaust Год назад

Yes, they sure do! The replacement teeth occupy the same space.

@damo7131 6 лет назад

Another idea is to replace them with replacement cleats, which are made out of plastic

@ciscokid0307 5 лет назад

a dremmel tool might do a beter job to sand down and level

@anicetopontillas8121 4 года назад

I think using a smaller drill bit then tap it so the screw will lock in better. Just saying but all in all good video..

@oggyoggy1299 Месяц назад

How much better could it lock in with that nut on the end?

@derJackistweg 6 лет назад

I would rather meld my Max Trax, than my tires!

@Sjackson2369 5 лет назад

downfalls of injection molded plastics like that. especially without glass fiber reinforcement.

@mitsuevo8mr 8 лет назад

use a small washer o the bottom.

@oggyoggy1299 Месяц назад

Why?

@shakarchi7320 5 лет назад

They should of made metal studs from the start rather than plastic.

@markdavies675 5 лет назад

Hope you made the foul who damaged them pay for it ... those repair lugs are expensive ...

@leeoswald6803 3 года назад

I feel bad for any idiot who bought their repair kit. Go to the damn hard ware store and buy som bolts for less than five dollars

@KurtisPape 6 лет назад

For $300 you think they would at the very least be metal to begin with.

@calvin3448 6 лет назад

No, they are very durable. The only time they would melt is if you wheelspin. If you wheelspin for the first 1 or 2 seconds, let go of the throttle immediately.

@MrMrsregor 2 года назад

I believe for $500 you can get that

@andrewsmee7048 5 лет назад

This is why you dont assist any fool you come across, obviously the person he assisted damaged his gear. Same with snatch straps , you get 8 goes then they are stuffed so if they need assistance they need to throw up some coin

@johnrogers5825 5 лет назад

I needed a snatch and the guy wanted a carton of beer or money in case he stuffed his gearbox or whatever. No beer or money on me so no help from this guy. I waited half hour till some other guy came along and snatched me out. I only needed the gentlest of force, not even a snatch really. Some people are just pricks. But yes, if they aren't carrying their own recovery gear, they need to compensate somehow before helping, unless f course they are in desperate need.

@mynameisprivate158 5 лет назад

@@johnrogers5825 In the military they teach us to never use your own med kit on someone else you pull their med kit out of their pocket and use theirs on them ( cause you may need yours in the future)! I think the same goes for recovery gear. If you need recovering you use your gear, if you don't have your own recovery gear you have no business being where ever you got stuck in the first place...

@johnrogers5825 5 лет назад

@@mynameisprivate158 Private what? So anyway, my situation was doing a delivery to some tradesmen. The ground had been cut away ready for a concrete driveway, it was a new house being built. It had rained prior to my arrival, and the ground was a slippery muddy clay. I had a small truck carrying some sand for the bricklayers. I knew I wouldn't get a grip on the concrete street kerb to get back out, but the supervisor needed the sand near the house. He promised me they would help me out if I got stuck. Once sand was tipped off, they all started working and ignored me. Pricks. I tried chocking some stuff against the kerb, but there was too much clay that the tyres kept spinning. Tried to do them a favour and it backfired on me. Needless to say, they only ever got another delivery from me onto the footpath, flick them.

@johnrogers5825 5 лет назад

Have to say the maxtrax people are just greedy. Probably cost $5 each to make. Then to charge what? $24 for 4 bolts someone said, so just further greed. Really, the maxtrax are a faulty design, as they know the studs wear off easily. Not fit for purpose. The maxtrax, at the exorbitant price they charge, should come with metal studs on the ramp areas already.

@spencermorrow2899 2 года назад

You just voided your warranty

@KAONaust 2 года назад

Maxtrax understandably don't cover for wheel spin damage within their warranty terms, so we find that replacing the teeth is the best way to get more life out of the boards.
