Best Off-road Air Compressor MODS.

Today we are going to modify our Maxi trac Off-road air compressor! These NAPA Maxi trac compressors are fast and cheap but they really need help. With a little bit of elbow grease and some cheap parts from Harbor Freight I think we can make giant improvements. By the way, I have found that a lot of these same ideas could be used on the Smitty Built 2781 so if you have another type of tire filler/on board air compressor, these ideas might be useful!
If you liked this one and you want to see a part two, let me know in the comments 👍. I definitely plan on continuing to modify this compressor but if it's not a topic you are interested in then I won't turn it into a video.
Thanks for watching!

Toss a pressure regulator and gauge in front of your air hose quick connect. This allows you to set your target pressure on the regulator, connect the hose to your tire and just let it run until the pressure switch cuts power. No need to babysit it or keep checking pressures as you go.

When I was researching rebuilding my "Titan" branded compressor (physically identical to the larger smittybilt unit), smittybilt owners were recommending SuperLube with PTFE for the cylinder.

@mattb.2359 2 жыл бұрын

I did some of those things to mine when I got mine. Went up to 1/4” npt from the 1/8” that was on there originally. Secondly added a pressure regulator. Reason is the compressor can output 150, while normal air tanks are rated for 100. So regulator is set below 100 for tank safety. Ditched the spring clamps for the battery connection in favor of adding 2 gauge ran up to the front, through a 200 amp continuous load relay, which is switched through my SPod. It works, and fills itself and my tank from dead flat to 100psi in 1 minute. Single ARB used to take 3, plus complicated wiring.

@xjinit 2 жыл бұрын

Since you're using a manifold that stays under pressure, I'd suggest installing a check valve into the supply line as the big compressors have. This will remove the constant pressure on the pistons at startup.

@DonziGT230 2 жыл бұрын

The startup pressure is less of an issue with this type of motor, and with such a short output pipe the check valve will do very little for startup pressure anyway.

@DonziGT230 2 жыл бұрын

@@xjinit The pipe is very short/small volume and this compressor moves a large volume of air so it'll pressurize very quickly therefore be of very little benefit. The pipe on a home compressor is typically much longer and the compressors are lower volume so it'll take several strokes to pressurize the pipe. Also, this type of motor isn't effected by startup torque like the motors used in home compressors which have a very hard time with startup. One of those without the pressure release often won't be able to get up to speed, it'll try 'till it burns up unless it has an overload breaker to protect it. I don't know of any 12v compressor that has a pressure relief and they all do fine, even those without a check valve.

If you want to add a "homemade tank" you could get whatever length of 4" copper tube and silver solder caps on with any connection size you want. It would help cool the air even more, especially it there is air flow. It isn't much storage but for this application more than enough. Having been in the compressed air industry for nearly 40 years, this is a great product for the price. Excellent mods done with the 1/8" to 1/4" size upgrade being understated in it's value. That will also help reduce heat load.

It's about cost. That PCB and components cost a few dollars to make. The solenoid he added was probably $10-30, and the pressure switch was probably around the same cost. So adding $20-40 or more in build cost to sell these at only $150 really dents the profits. You see how much work he had to do to it to make it a lot more robust, yet the build quality for the remaining parts can still be questionable.

Will also function as a switch so you don't have sparks when hooking up the battery clamps. - There are tons of these on alibaba/aliexpress. Shipping will be slower but the price is much lower.

This give me an input and 2 outputs on the driver side and 2 outputs on the passenger side (This is under the back seat). My input hose is long enough to reach my ARBs, and my outlets are long enough to reach both sides of the seat. I also have cut a 25' air hose into 6, 50" pieces (with ends) These will Velcro together and lay nicely under the back seat. It takes 2 pieces to reach the front, and one to reach the rear. I've also put a ball valve and a pressure gauge on my input line so that when I close the valve it show the pressure in the tires. I can inflate/deflate all 4 of my tires at once, or I can connect the pieces and make a 25 foot hose is someone else need air. :) Keep up the good work!

Yes on a Part 2! A multi-tire inflator/defaltor is stupid easy and can be done for super cheap. A $5 3-way splitter with a cheap gauge and connectors is all you really need for a 2-tire setup. The hose is the most expensive part of the whole thing. For a 4-tire setup Amazon has a 7 port manifold that is perfect for $7. Minus hose, I'm in my 4-tire inflator/defaltor for less than $30. Word on the street is that Napa discontinued the compressor. It's out there under multiple different brand names, but for 2-4x the cost. Might be able to get some in from a wholesaler and fill the void that Napa is leaving. Have a Dirt Lifestyle branded compressor out there kicking ARB's ass all over the place. 😆

I knew the electronics were not going to withstand exposure. I would have recommended not using the ammo can, at least not for mounting. These things get hot and need the air ventilation to keep cool. It's fine for transport and storage, but not for use, at least not without modding the ammo can (vents, maybe even a couple 120mm fans.... hmmm....)

Awesome vid nate! Years ago i modded a smittybilt compressor similar to what you have done here. But i added a small 3" round x 6" long tank and a pressure gauge. I also added dual air chucks so if a buddy needs to fill tires, ive got a spare air line he can use.

Old fire extinguishers work well for tanks...

I would love to see a part 2 on this and I would also like to see a more detailed explanation of the wiring on the dual compressor set up on the discovery. Maybe even a comparison of the 2 systems I have a Viair OBA setup on my truck that is great but I would love to get a faster compressor
