Alright guys, I just ordered a set of the MAXSA TRACKS recovery treads off of Amazon for $122 / pair. Thought I was getting a sweet deal.... on a set of MAXTRAX though! (normally like $250-360/ pair.) I found reviews for all kinds of other brands and options with significant differences in performance. The MAXTRAX were the best in all of the head to head reviews. Am I going to regret the ones I've purchased here? Any feed back or experience with these MAXSA TRACKS would be appreciated. Thanks.

They were the Innovations Escaper Buddy Tracks #20333. Ordered two pairs. I'll drag these through some testing when I get them, but may want another double set for my brother before they are out of stock if the feedback is positive. Any body have a set already that has pushed them through the paces? Bridging strength and durability? Thanks.
I ordered a set of these as well. Seems the only reviews I can find are the ones on Amazon.

MAXTRAX I used this winter and quite frankly found them to not be nearly as effective as the heavy waffleboard/sand ladders I also own. These may be better for sand type situations but in the winter, they are too light, slippery and ineffective compared to waffles. Our xtreme-duty & heavy-duty waffle boards are manufactured from corrosion resistant fibreglass. They will never rot, corrode or rust and there is no need for painting or maintenance, just hose them down. The gritted top surface gives an extended life and provide superior traction even in the worst of conditions.

That's a pretty creative. I have used all kinds of fiberglass decking in the past and it's a super tough material. https://www.google.com/search?espv=2&biw=1234&bih=697&tbm=shop&q=frp+decking+grating&source=univ&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjlstaIq63OAhXHOCYKHcf8B4wQ1TUIPSgI&dpr=1.75#q=frp+decking+grating
Has anyone tried to stack these maxsa tracks and use them for bridging like you can do with the maxtrax? Trying to figure out which ones I should start buying. I think I'd eventually like to get 4. I used a set that belonged to a guy that was along on the trip last spring to get out of soft slushy snow. I don't remember which brand They were though. They were more helpful then my winch because I was so sunk in the slush my winch could do was flex my 1/4 inch front bumper. I needed the tracks to get up above everything.
