Maxtrax Repair - How to Repair Melted Teeth

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

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

use a small washer o the bottom.

DO they fucken eat your tyre what the fuck do you drive on when you 4x4 grass what a dumb ass question

wow the first 3 rows shoulda just come like this.

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?

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.

LEVEL the fucking table mate........that rattling was doing my head in & didn't it tip you beer over ?!?

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

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".

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

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.

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

Thats not a knife!

Why don't they come this way from the factory

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

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

why woukd you bother with all he detail sanding and cutting ffs. buy some bolts from bunings not this shit

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

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

These are awesome and save the tracks

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

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

5/16-18 bolts are much cheaper and do the same thing. use a lockwasher or nylock nut and Bobs your uncle

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.

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

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.)

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

clean your nails

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

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..

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

bought a maxtrax bracket off u a few weeks ago. bracket was perfect

Who else tried to blow away the plastic shavings after the hole got drilled?

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.

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

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

That’s a crackin idea!!

You stole my name

You just voided your warranty

Do they still stack after you do this?

Tek screw?
