MAXTRAX XTREME Olive Drab 88 Alloy Teeth, Built to Order for Military-Spec Rigs
This isn't an MKII in a different colour. XTREME is a different class of recovery track entirely, and Olive Drab exists because customers running military-spec builds asked for it, colour-matched to US Army Humvee spec. If you're running a tactical, ex-military, or camo-themed 4WD, this is the recovery track that actually matches the rest of the build, and it happens to be the most advanced one MAXTRAX makes.
Why XTREME is a step up from every polymer board out there:
-
88 hard-anodised alloy teeth – alloy is significantly harder than tyre rubber and more resistant to wear from a spinning tyre than any polymer available today, so you get faster, more secure engagement with your tread pattern. That makes XTREME both the most durable and the fastest recovery track MAXTRAX builds.
-
Robot-inserted, over-moulded construction – a custom jig on a robot arm places each tooth into the injection mould, then the nylon is over-moulded around it so the material conforms tightly to the thread. Virtually eliminates any risk of a tooth unwinding out of the board.
-
Hard-anodised for corrosion resistance – every tooth is treated to stand up to saltwater, mud, and harsh environments.
-
Repairable in the field – damage a tooth, and you flip the board over, pull it with a T-50 Torx bit, and fit a replacement using MAXTRAX's patent-pending thread and blip-lock system. A damaged board isn't a write-off. (Replacement teeth kits and the custom T-head tool are sold separately.)
-
Built for professional use – XTREME was developed from direct feedback by elite military units, off-road racing champions, certified 4WD driver trainers and expedition leaders for active combat scenarios, timed motorsport, and remote-area expeditions where aggressive driving and heavy wheel spin are unavoidable.
-
Six glove-friendly handles – designed to be grabbed with gloves on, wet, cold, and in a hurry.
-
Nests with MAXTRAX MKII – already running MKIIs? XTREME stacks with them, though there's a slightly larger gap between boards due to the XTREME's underside design.
-
Dedicated mounting options – XTREME-specific mounting pins are now available, including a hybrid pin for running a set of XTREME on top of your existing MKIIs.
-
Compatible with MAXTRAX mini and the fixing and linking kit – join boards together to build a portable roadway across long soft sections.
Specs: 1150mm L x 330mm W x 85mm H. 9kg per pair. Stacked height: 100mm for a pair, 145mm for two pairs. Safe, easy recovery from sand, mud, snow and slush.
Aussie-made, backed for life. Australian-designed, engineered and manufactured, with a lifetime warranty against faulty materials and workmanship.
What's in the carton: 2 x MAXTRAX XTREME recovery tracks (Olive Drab) and 2 orange telltale leashes, so you can find the boards when they're buried.
If you're running hard rocky country, heavy loads, or remote work where a failed recovery is a genuine problem and you want your gear to actually match a tactical build — this is the board.
FAQs
Q: How many boards do I get for the price? A: A full pair of 2 MAXTRAX XTREME recovery tracks, plus 2 orange telltale leashes. This is not a single-board price.
Q: What's the actual difference between XTREME and the MKII? A: The MKII uses moulded polymer cleats; XTREME uses 88 hard-anodised alloy teeth over-moulded into the nylon body. Alloy is harder than tyre rubber and more wear-resistant than any polymer, so engagement with your tread is faster and more secure. The teeth are also individually replaceable in the field. XTREME runs about 9kg per pair versus 6.8kg for the MKII you're trading a little weight for a lot more bite and durability.
Q: Why does MAXTRAX make an Olive Drab XTREME? A: It was made by customer request, colour-matched to US Army Humvee spec, for owners running military-inspired or tactical-themed 4WD builds who wanted their recovery boards to match the rest of the vehicle.
Q: Will the colour exactly match my military-spec paint? A: Olive Drab is colour-matched to a US Army Humvee reference, but actual colour can vary slightly from the product photos. Worth checking your specific paint code against the images if an exact match matters for your build.
Q: What happens if I damage a tooth? A: Flip the board, remove the damaged tooth with a T-50 Torx bit, and fit a replacement; the patent-pending thread and blip-lock system locks it securely back into its recess. Replacement tooth kits and the T-head tool are available separately.
Q: Can I run these with my existing MAXTRAX MKII boards? A: Yes. XTREME nests with MKII tracks (with a slightly larger gap between them due to the XTREME underside design), and there's a hybrid mounting pin made specifically for mounting a set of XTREME on top of your current MKIIs.
