Sure some versatility with the
grid type tracks, but I take a
camp chair on trips for comfort, and have no need / time for all the other uses they have listed . . . maybe apart from bridging, but that is needed very rarely, and a few logs / rocks or a spade soon takes car of that.
Maxtrax really don't need much in the way of improvement, perhaps they can work on more resilient materials as they are developed in time, but people usually break / wear bits off any sort of tracks through misuse.
The Muputrax do look overpriced to me Batts.
You can buy a sheet of the FGRP
grid sheet for a few hundred $ pick up . . . seconds etc.
One supplier here, but many more online . . .
Item 10 for example, is 38mm thinckness, 40mm x 40mm
grid, you can get 6 pairs 1007mm x 310mm out of the larger sheet at size 1007mm x 4007mm, so thicker and more versatile mid length.
Available in the gritted surface for traction.
I feel if just for sand recoveries, item 4 the 25mm thickness with the 25mm x 100mm
grid, would give you 6 pairs size 1220mm x 300mm, with the long side of the
grid runnning with the width, and much lighter than square
grid sizes.
For similar sized Muputrax, you are looking at $250 a pair.
Anyway, each to their own, some people might take a couple of crates and form a bench
seat with a track, some might set up for a shower floor, etc.
Not sure I'd trust them to load any sort of quad on a trailer (as on their site) though.
