Re: Maxtrax

Jason, I pulled up in the Bunnings car park but near Supercheap about 8.20 in a silver Prado. I did see a couple of cars there out in front of the doors and some people around waiting for it to open and thought to myself, what is the chance they are after Maxtrax?
I had to get a few things in Bunnings and Supercheap wasn't open yet so I went in there first and was back at Supercheap about 8.35 but you had been and gone by then. Anyway managed to get a set at what seems a fair price.

Re: Maxtrax

I just saw an ad for it, only exclusions were, navigation and gift vouchers.

If only they were V1's ... I'd consider picking up a set

I know Brad has some left at his warehouse... Maybe contact him through his website. I think he may even have some different colours available.

Excuse my ignorance but who's Brad and will he sell them to me at the current SCA prices? :mrgreen:

Makes you wonder... if SCA are making a profit by selling them at $236, just how much is the markup to the original price of $299.

Brad McCarthy is the owner & inventor of MAXTRAX. He also writes the Dirty Weekends guides.

He also has some pink ones (if your into that, or even makes a nice gift for the ladies).

Here's what I think is the evolution of Maxtrax...

{left to right} V1 MkI - V1 MkII - V2 MkI


Version 1 MkI


Version 1 MkII


Version 2 MkI

For those in Perth still considering these, I notice there's a guy in Morley WA advertising a new set for $150-. I don't know him but if I didn't already have a set, I reckon I'd be taking a close look for this price.

Leon, good choice on the color. The Pilbara Red is by far my favorite color. I have a set of 'em and pair them with a set of Desert Tan.

They did mention Ray's as well.

I just went back and bought a set of the MkII from Supercheap.

I have seen people in this thread saying how the MkII can be used for bridging as they have higher longitudinal strength. On the instruction sheet that comes with them it states "DO NOT USE on hard/rocky ground, for bridging, as a ramp or below -10 degree C". Where did the idea they can be used for bridging come from?

Here's an un-official... but posted with permission video of the new Maxtrax being used to bridge an Earthcruiser at the Glasshouse Mtns.

The advise from Maxtrax is still the same as currently on the website but...
...if you NEED to get through an obstacle I'd be giving it a go

Oh, and btw... I have seen a video of a certain member of this site cracking the ripoff version with his hands

I though so... but I kinda miss the bright orange ones on the roof
