The main reason I got rid of my Maxtrax was the size and space they take up. I'm pretty pumped for these little guys that will fit nicely (and in greater quantity) in my roof case. Anyone else excited for these?

Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Hadn't seen the mini before, that's pretty cool. Probably more practical for alot of folks to just run the mini's. I found mine were used alot more often to level the vehicle for the RTT than actually used on the trail so the mini would serve that purpose just fine.

I have a brand-new, never-used pair of orange MaxTrax I'm selling, but we're on opposite ends of the country right now and I won't be out there for quite awhile, most likely. If you or anyone you know will be in or near Maine soon enough to suit you, I'll let them go for $250. Brand new.
You might want to post in Overland Buy Sell Trade - Gear and choose Wanted in the prefix, then describe in the title you're looking for Maxtrax.

A nice concept, but I would like to see some real-world feedback by people who have used them. Even better would be those that could compare full size vs mini.
If they get good reviews for usability, I can see competitors offering a similar product. The nylon/plastic formula has finally manifested itself, and is no longer exclusive to the top tier offering.
The cost for the R&D MOLD DESIGHN is similar between the bottom manufactor and the top. Once that is recovered...it's all profit. Cheap plastic and better plastic/nylon construction is only pennies or a couple of dollars at most.
