I tried to assist a low soft roader out of hot inland track sand. Could not get sand out from wheels without more sand filling the hole / struggled getting any angle on the trax as it was low and sitting on its belly. They did however assist with a front snatch that allowed the car to once up get on top off. Wheel spin is a killer as the knobs melt like butter. Tip- etiquette is bring your own gear and others will assist and at least know where your hook point is and fit prior to attempting tracks if you are in a soft roader

VW Amaroks limit the torque in reverse gear. Q: Could this prevent the maxtracks working if stuck in sand or mud? Any Amarok owners had this issue?

I reckon start buy not using road tyres on the sand. Get some off road tyres if you're going to go off road.

That is a camera trick. It did not show the tyre go from in sand to being on the track. AND THAT IS THE DIFFICULT PART.

Nice but waaay over priced, I get can similar item for 100 bucks, these are Atleast 300 !!! They need to work on pricing, I understand you get what you pay for but that is still waaay to high.

Red pilled patriot You can buy the x-bull branded ones on eBay for $65 or best offer with free shipping. Nothing but 5 star reviews on them with pics of them actually being used. They are nearly identical in every way other then color to these, and no recovery strap. Comes with a zippered storage bag which is nice

a lot of the cheaper boards break when bridging. They're a newer company and have to pay for tooling too
