They look good but I'd suggest you message them to find out what material its from. It needs to be something that can cop some abuse, like the plastic in milk crates! :lol:

I'd reccommend a very strong plastic for you, My maxtrax are worn out from when you did a burnout on them.

I got the pair of recovery tracks from aldi but never had the chance to try them. Cost me $100. They are all mde in china btw .

I'd wait until Supercheap or Rays outdoors have a sale and grab a pair of Maxtrax. Mine haven't failed yet. Love em!
In saying that I haven't tried any of the copy cat products so could be worth a shot.

If the price of Maxtrax turns you off I would give these Tread a go from https://www.meanmother.com.au/

Look to be a solid product as well.

The 2nd gen maxtrax are so much nicer to use as a shovel and store so well I wouldn't consider anything else.

Except maybe cut up milkcrates.

Thanks for the input. I ordered them any way as I need them for end of march when I go to albany. Will post how they go.

Unlikely

I've got TREDs, work a treat on little Subys and big Patrols alike.
Got a bit of wear but that's mostly from excessive wheelspin, e.g. dropping the clutch to get out of sand.
All things considered, they're pretty tough

Good to know. I have Treds and have never needed to use them and hopefully won't :biggrin:

My tracks arrived today. The look good and feel solid. Just need to test them out now.
