Maxtrax vs Actiontrax 

We have also broken the XTREME boards 🥲.

Absolutely! Yeah when you’re spending that much money on equipment the details for sure matter

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

They must have updated their warranty information

Thank you! I recommend starting off with just a pair and if you find yourself needing more then upgrade. A pair can usually get the job done

They do not stack together well. You could stack them but they’re not gonna like it

Yeah, I would have went with actiontrax.

MAXTRAX are only rated for 7k lbs and Action Trax have no weight limit. MAXTRAX are stiffer, can act as a shovel, and are little easier to deal with compared to the ActionTrax which are super flexible.

@@threecreeksbackcountry Thanks for your quick response. I have the ActionTrax, and was curious to what your reasoning was.

We had to do a quick search to find out about the new maxtrax lite. If the regular ones don’t fit or they take up too much room, the smaller ones seem like a good alternative. They won’t give you as much surface area as the big ones but they could potentially get you out of a situation. Better than nothing for sure

We only use standard versions and they’ve been great

Remember you can just drill out a broken tooth and put a nut and a bolt in it if you want

Yeah the holes are similar but not identical

I use the Bomber mount. It mounts on the spare tire.

The ActionTrax and the MaxTrax don’t stack together. Even if the holes may line up

@@threecreeksbackcountry Hi! I’m not trying to stack those 2 brands together, I’m trying to mount my actiontrax on the overland kitted universal maxtrax mounting plate. I asked them for clarification on why it won’t work and I have a feeling they are not going to reply but this is the only option I see that I have to mount my recovery boards to my Molle panel

Gotcha. We just Googled the mount plate you’re talking about. If the Trax hole locations are slightly different, it looks like you could easily move the mount pins on the plate with a little garage fabrication. Mounting these Trax is actually really simple and the honest answer is you don’t need any overland kitted plate mount to do it. You can build your own mounts with a little bit of creativity and a trip to Ace. We made all of our own mounts with old bolts and wrenches lying around. Go with the easiest option. If modifying your existing mounting plate is the easiest do that. If building a new mount from scratch is the easiest do that. If drilling a new hole in the ActionTrax is the easiest, do that! 🤠 There in no wrong way, as long as it’s functional

We have a few of each 😁

Tastes great! Less filling!

Ugh I know right

First recovery boards were patented in the US in 1912, so actually the Aussie boards are a copy as well. They are all just a "better mousetrap".

So you see more Australian boards in Australia? No shit.. Actiontrax took what Maxtracks did and improved every area that it was lacking in. Including the Dupont polymer that they're molded with. Plus, every time you use your Actiontrax you'll get to smell a hint of freedom and 2nd amendment in the air.

You know what else you don't see alot of in Australia? Sub zero temps and snow. You know what you see alot of in America? Sub Zero temps, snow and Frozen and broken Maxtrax. Maxtrax are great in warm, temperate climates but Actiontrax are designed for multi temperature conditions. Ranging from frozen to blistering hot. We used Actiontrax in the Marines and in all my time using them, I never saw one break, ever, using them on MRAPS, Hummers, ect. I've seen built jeeps break a Maxtrak a few times.

​@@9821Joker total rubbish we here in Australia see lots of snow, in fact my state that I live in can even snow in summer. Don't shoot your mouth off when you know nothing about the topic.

Tie me kangaroo down, sport!
