When spending 299-499, you want to make sure you are buying the very best.
In the market of Recovery Traction Boards, the Maxtrax have been at the top of conversation with their Nylon6 material. They meet the challenge in almost every situation..
However, there is a new USA built board (not china like other boards, incl Maxtrax) that are built in the heartland of the US and using the very best in Modern Materials. You definitely get the biggest bang for your buck with the USActionTrax.
They are built using Duponts Proprietary blend of materials that makes the boards 5x stronger than the next best board and tested to handle 55k lbs. Yes, thats Fifty-Five Thousand pounds.
The material is used to also make train coupling bushings.
Getting Recovery boards should be a once in a lifetime purchase, to last you from vehicle to vehicle.
USActionTrax has the longest and best warranty in the industry.
Recovery boards are 8lbs each typically, 16lbs for a set.... Nylon6 costs $2.5 per lb and the Dupont material is $6 per pound. Not all recovery boards are created equal!
get yourself a set of USActionTrax, for any other boards, you might as well just use your old Ktel Skis.
If you are interested I have sets on hand with and without metal teeth. 3 selections of metal teeth.. Zinc, Stainless steel and Yellow Zinc Grade 8.

You can't bend the Maxtraxx with your foot but I just watched a couple of Australian guys stick them in a hole in the sand and drive what looked to be about a 3 ton truck forwards and backwards 7 or 8 times and bend them 90% degrees without even cracking them. I'm not sure the foot test is the best way of testing a board that needs to be able to support thousands of pounds of pressure. I find demonstrations a lot more compelling than a sales pitch with an appeal to patriotism. Show us a demonstration where the Maxtraxx fail and the ActionTrax don't instead of giving us theory and telling us how good the DuPont material is.
Well, if your rug weighs over 7000 pounds loaded up, your warranty 2 yr is VOID with Maxtrax. ActionTrax has a 5 year warranty and weight is unlimited.
Maxtrax has its purpose, like a crossing over a small run, but ActionTrax has many more advantages. A true overlander that finds all types of terrain, may want to have both.. Leave the Maxtrax in the Truck with a warm blanket if you are at -20° .
Lifetime warranty with maxtrax
Maxtrax MkII have a 4500kg limit. That's 9920 lbs not 7000.
@@CruisingTheLandmaxtrax have a lifetime warranty
@spencermorrow2899 Really? Here in the US it's 2 years and it's null and void if your Rig is over 7000lbs. Which sounds like it fails for anything over that weight..ActuonTrax is 5 years and unlimited weight.
The only thing that matters is how they perform when you’re stuck. Everything else is just fluffy opinion of no value.
Thank you! Exactly.
This is the preferred board for the Baja 1000. In Australia, they dont have access to this board yet.
So it’s a paid review for the max trax rip offs
I have both. The ActionTrax are Wayyy better. Better material, which is 3x the cost of the Nylon6 . ArbTred, uses Nylon6, thats same as Maxtrax, but thats not a rip off? lol.. Build a better mouse trap. Like the FJ40... copied the Jeep from WWII. A total ripoff... Only they made it wayyy better.
Those are a blatant rip off of the Maxtrax design, that's shameful.
Maxtrax are a great product, I bought some and paid a 50% premium to support Australian manufacturing.
While I believe you should support your own country, that product is a blatant rip off, they could at least come up with their own design!
Dupont is a manufacturer, not a material.
Maxtrax are ~AUD299 RRP in Australia, I imagine they're cheaper in the USA? I paid the equivalent of 160USD for my maxtrax (AUD225)!
Maxtrax are 299 USD here and 499 for the metal boards.
It is very close in design, just inprovements, like the saw tooth ends, pre formed indents on the back so customers can go to any hardware store to replace burnt down nibs. I think Maxtrax forces you to buy their replacements, which is about 3x more than off the shelf hardware.
The boards are preformed on the back with indents for the washers.
The design is similar, just evolution of improvements.
And there are already a plethora of aftermarket mounts, so the Action Trax has similar pin holes to be able to use any mounts.
Maxtrax is a much better recovery board. I’ve seen actions crack and give under to much stress. I’ve never seen a Maxtrax give
When you say 'give' what do you mean? They are indestrucible.. Maxtrax can fail... $2 nylon plastic vs $7/lb Dupont material..
I don't know necessarily if being able to bend is all that good especially if you want to use it as a base for a jack
If you are on sand or ground, you can put a jack on it.
For bridges, you would use 2 for strength, especially not to crack plastic.
The bending stops them from breaking, maxtrax are known to be more flexible and less likely to break than many other brands. If it's too flexible, you get no ramping effect so they're less useful
a jack? lol. if you say so.
You can mount them to your spare tire? I am trying to mount it to my Gobi Molle panel but the panel is more narrow. I wasnt sure if it could be mounted with the handles that are further in than the pin holes because I’d never seen it before
Can you use maxtrax hardwhere to mount the actiontrax.
Your 80 is amazing love the DuPont boards.
What’s the tire mount called for your boards ?
The mount where the black board is, thats the Axia Alloys mount, the the rear tire is the bomber products.
@@CruisingTheLand thanks
What are the round storage containers mounted on the ladder? Thank you sir.

My question is Action trax is desame hole size like Maxtrax for mounting pin set? I have Maxtrax MKII mount and pin set lock if it’s fit rather to get one of those. Thanks
Yes, Maxtrax pins fit the ActionTrax, and all aftermarket maxtrax mounts fit.
LMK if you want to order.

@@CruisingTheLandI just contacted overland kitted about their mount to ask about the pins 17mm vs 40mm, to ask if to get the xtreme or regular pins and to ask if the plate only option on their website will still come with nuts and bolts to install it and they just responded saying their mount is not compatible with actiontrax. Aren’t the pin hole locations the same distance layout?
Do you think the spare tire mount I would somehow be able to use for my window molle panel that’s more narrow than the recovery boards?
has to be as wide as the key holes for the pins.
All this just for what you see with them standing there? That means nothing. Test them under the same conditions and then make a video
Hi Graywolf, I drive Land Cruisers so I carry these to help others..The 2 times I got them out to assist another Rock Crawler, I didn't record..
I will next time for sure!
So you’re financially involved? Makes it hard to trust the comparison.
I do sell the ActionTrax, only because I discovered how awesome they are. I do have a set of Maxtrax to show to locals as a comparison, and I would use the Maxtrax if I needed to bridge a gap and have a stiff board.
I wish I would have seen this before replacing my stolen boards that I thought would be ok not locked for the night. I might snag a pair or two for my jeep. Thanks
Total bummer. I also have the Bomber Products rear tire carrier, which you can lock.
@@CruisingTheLand are you talking about the Trax-Lock? Did you manage to get it before Bomber Products closed down? Cheers
Yes I bought from their contracted manufacturer. The last 14... Now I am down to just a few.
A demonstration would be a much more convincing sales pitch than 12 minutes bull about railway couplings and bending underfoot. To be honest a bendy traction board seems a little pointless, tyres are already bendy when deflated, a rigid board is needed for bridging and getting unstuck. Better to give a little extra coin and get a proven product I reckon, Maxtrax would be my choice every time, especially after watching Ronny Dahl's excellent review of several different boards....
A smart overlander would have a set of ActionTrax and Maxtrax. They both have their separate strengths. Maxtrax will break in cold Temps, but makes for good bridging, butnis a Teeter Totter if on a round Boulder. Action Trax perform great in sub zero, won't break and great on the rocks, but not for bridging and they are not hard plastic. That's for your input, I will.show in action the next time I have to help out a Jeep on the trail.
@@CruisingTheLandthis kinda proves maxtrax are better for Australia then dosnt it...its a massive hot desert..cold temp isn't a factor there.
Love his info very helpful and a lovely down to earth guy.❤
Where are you getting ActionTrax for $269?!
I sell them. I am a distributor.
You can message me at cruisingtheland@gmail.com
Just looking for sales and $$$. The maxtracks dont need an ambassador.
Is this Max?
Max Trax from Australia?
Coming from down under is why Max Trax costs is higher in US.
The new maxtrax has metal grip lugs, and because the plastic is more ridgid they can be used as ramps and bridges, ill stick with the tried and trued Australian Maxtrax mate.
They are great for bridges, as long as you don't weigh over 7k lbs, their metal is aluminum.. The ActionTrax I assemble have Yellow Zinc grade 8 metal. Far stronger than the Aluminum.
ActionTrax perform best with Rocks and boulders as they won't snap back on your rocker panels.
@@CruisingTheLand nothing but mud here in my country and my truck doesn't weigh that much either, because the maxtrax are more rigid they make better ramps and bridges, ill stick with the best. And aluminium work just fine and are light weight.
Ah, so you admit you are from Down Under and have access to only MaxTrax. I admire your patriotism, but your Maxtrax are made in China, Mate...
And in US, we have access to both your Chinese made Maxtrax and the USA made ActionTrax. I have used then both and have access to them both. You have access to only Maxtrax. So you are talking out your... @$$
Maxtrax are literally Aussie made and owned, at least the ones we get in Oz are
Maxtrax are great for bridging, as they are stiff, and ActionTrax and more flexible and better for boulders, tree roots etc...
I love that color. 40th? It looks like Antique Sage.
Its a 1995. Moonglow pearl.
I like the sage too, but interior is always 2 tone in the years of the sage. I am not a fan if the 2 tone.
Moonglow pearl came with all beige or all gray. Mine is grey.
you must be a good salesman cause you definitely sold me on em😂
Where are you located?
I do ship out, and I pit Yellow Zinc Grade 8 metal...
LMK cruisingtheland@gmail.com
I’m interested. Where are you in Southern California? I am in Northern California. You said $230.00 for non Metal boards? What about blemish boards? What colors and Price?
I am in Mission Viejo.
Shipping to Northern Cal is about $25, I have shipped to Redding and San Jose.
The blemish means the boards have a small spot or 2 of black, from when colors in the injection are changed. Virtually undetectable.
@@CruisingTheLand
Okay, thanks
What is the best way to reach you?
You can text me at 949.229-1071
@@CruisingTheLand...let me know if you have any blemished plain black ones ready to ship. I texted you yesterday from 253. No rush , brother. Cheers
Would thise actiontrax fit on a c4 matrax holder?
yes
@@CruisingTheLand awesome im glad i watched your vid on these ! I love your cruisers bro!
ActionTrax fits all maxtrax.
max trax are the gold standard.
making ActionTrax the new Platinum!
@@CruisingTheLand I’ll take a look at them.
🤣@@CruisingTheLand
maxtrax are unbeatable
except when vehicle is.over 7000lbs, or the temperature is below 20° they snap. But they are best for bridging due to their stiffness. They are not rocker panel friednly and can destroy on a snap back.. I think a set of Maxtrax and ActionTrax are worthy in a rig, to cover all bases.
Test?
I can do a test soon. Heading out to KOH (King of Hammers)
But FYI, these ActionTrax have been tested, tried and true'd on the Baja 1000 by professionals much crazier than me. It is the boards of choice for the Baja 1000 guys...
Flexible bendy recovery boards? What the hell. Useless.
? Not what all the Baja Guys say.
How much you getting paid? Wont trade my Maxtrx . They are almost indestrutable.
Fuck its nice to finally see a video of the turqious maxxies, have wanted to see the colour in a videp for ages
I'd love to get both there boards in eqactley the 2 feature colours aqua and royal.but with ss cleets
I just bought my first set of recovery boards and I went with Actiontraxs myself due to buying American when I can. I wouldn’t mind a set of both really, and if you had both sets I could see advantages of both. What sold me was the train knuckle material. . . If it holds up to that surely it will be indestructible. Also I recently was told from the owner of Actiontraxs that they have recently moved the warranty to lifetime as well against breakage and cracking (the nubs breaking off and slight fading doesn’t fall under that warranty)
Lifetime! Yes, that's pretty amazing. Maxtrax is only 2 years... As they do become brittle and break as they are exposed to the elements.. But not ActionTrax!
Rather than doing a front yard sales pitch, go do some real world comparisons. Also try being a bit more honest by declaring upfront that you are a distributor for actiontrax.
Truth:
I was a customer first and distributor 2nd.
Truth:
I am a distributor that give GREAT pricing. 15% off with upgraded Yellow Zinc Grade 8
Truth: These are better un all categories than Maxtrax except 1 thing: Bridging.
Maxtrax are so stiff, they make good bridges. Unless it's 10 degrees Fahrenheit, then they break.
Truth:
I use these in the real world to help others, because I am 3x locked with a FJ40 on 40" trepadors beadlocks aired down to 5 PSI. Next time I help out a another rig, I will record it.
Action track need to do real world testing compared to maxtrax
They have, can bury them upright and ActionTrax comes back to shape.. Also Action Trax used on 55k lb firetruck.
Check out Ronny dahl. He does a torture test and the maxtrax don't even show signs of wear.
Max trax are the best
Hey brotha, talks cheap!!Get these dam things dirty and show us that firetruck!! Till then, you ain't gettin my money. And I want to buy made in the USA !!
Heading to the fire station.
I didn't realize you need these for a fire truck.
@CruisingTheLand what I meant was , Show a demo of your traction boards. You mentioned They're strong enough for a fire truck. Show them, so we know what we're dealing with. That's if you really want to sell these recovery boards. That's it man..
I have the ActionTrax boards on hand for sale. You can DM on IG @landcruiser949

How much for set??
@@LordNykon75 A normal set is 250, the metal with Yellow Zinc Grade 8 is 340
I will let you know, thanks for the response.
@@LordNykon75 What color is your rig? You can also mix and match (break a set) so 1 red and 1 black for instance.
Actiontracks cheap crap
Sure... Dupont made a material for Train coupling Bushings, which withstands tens of thousands of foot pounds of pressure. This is what is used for ActionTrax.. $8/pound.
Nylon6 is used for MaxTrax, $2/lb and would snap like a twig if used for the train Bushing.
Thanks for helping me point out what is truly crap, and what value you are getting ($2/lb!!) the material in a Maxtrax set is 16lbs x 2= $32!! Maxtrax getting fat off of you and leaving you stranded if you are over 6,000lbs... 😆 🤣
But I want recovery boards not train bushings. They used tiles on space shuttles does that mean tiles would be better recovery boards?
Wow Actiontrax just copied maxtrax
exvept made them with better materials. MAXTRAX $2/lb nylon 6 vs $7/lb dupont material which is stronger.
@@CruisingTheLand are you a reseller of Actiontrax :)
@@marcusj4467 I bought a set late last year, and saw how good they are compared to the Maxtrax.
