Key Features

• Authentic MAXTRAX Design — These scale boards are developed in direct collaboration with MAXTRAX, the Australian company famous for engineering real vehicle recovery solutions used by emergency services and off-road professionals worldwide. This means you're getting scale versions of genuinely proven recovery equipment, not generic approximations.
• Moulded Plastic Construction — The boards are manufactured from durable moulded plastic that withstands the demands of trail use, storage, and handling. This material choice ensures longevity whilst keeping weight minimal, which is crucial for maintaining your RC truck's performance balance and handling characteristics.
• Highly Visible Safety Orange Colour — The striking orange finish isn't just for looks; it replicates the high-visibility colour scheme used on real MAXTRAX boards. This makes your recovery gear instantly recognisable in photographs, videos, and trail situations, and adds genuine visual impact to any 1/10 scale RC build.
• Practical Stackable Design — The boards feature a clever stackable design that allows you to store them compactly or arrange them on your RC truck in multiple configurations. This practicality means you can position them exactly how you want for authentic recovery scenarios or display purposes, and they won't take up excessive storage space in your RC gear bag.
• Generous Dimensions for 1/10 Scale — At 117mm length, 34mm width, and 7mm thickness, these boards are perfectly proportioned for 1/10 scale RC trucks and crawlers. The dimensions ensure they're visible and impactful on your rig without overwhelming the overall scale appearance of your vehicle.
• Sold as a Pair — You receive two recovery boards in this package, allowing you to mount them symmetrically on your RC truck's chassis or suspension points, or use them for multiple vehicles in your collection. Having a pair means you can create authentic dual-board recovery setups that real expedition vehicles use.
• Licensed Authenticity — The MAXTRAX name and logo are registered trademarks of the MAXTRAX company, and these scale boards carry official licensing. This means you're buying genuine RC4WD products that are authorised and approved by MAXTRAX themselves, not cheap imitations or unlicensed copies.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD MAXTRAX Vehicle Extraction and Recovery Boards represent meticulous attention to scale detail and functional design. Constructed from robust moulded plastic, these boards deliver the durability required for repeated trail use, storage, and handling without degradation. The material selection balances structural integrity with weight consciousness—critical factors in 1/10 scale RC vehicles where every gram affects suspension geometry, weight distribution, and overall handling. The 7mm thickness provides sufficient rigidity to maintain shape and appearance through regular use, whilst the modest profile prevents the boards from interfering with your truck's ground clearance or approach angles. The orange colour is applied during moulding, ensuring consistent visibility across both boards and resistance to fading through UV exposure during outdoor trail running. The stackable design demonstrates engineering foresight, allowing these boards to function as both practical accessories and storage-efficient items. For 1/10 scale RC trucks and crawlers—whether you're running ultra-realistic scale rock crawlers, modern trail trucks, or competition-grade vehicles—these boards provide authentic recovery equipment detail that elevates your build from generic to genuinely expedition-equipped. They're engineered to complement any 1/10 scale platform and integrate seamlessly with existing RC4WD accessories and recovery systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What exactly are MAXTRAX recovery boards and why would I want them on my 1/10 RC truck? — MAXTRAX recovery boards are Australian-engineered equipment used by professional off-road teams and emergency services for vehicle extraction and recovery. Adding scale versions to your RC truck creates authentic, expedition-ready detail that transforms your build from a basic RC vehicle into a realistic replica of a properly equipped trail machine. They're perfect for scale enthusiasts, diorama builders, and anyone who wants their RC truck to look as capable and professional as possible.
• Are these boards compatible with all 1/10 scale RC trucks and crawlers? — Yes, these scale boards are designed for any 1/10 scale RC truck or crawler platform. The dimensions (117mm length × 34mm width × 7mm thickness) are proportioned to work with standard 1/10 scale vehicles, whether you're running Axial crawlers, Traxxas trucks, Losi platforms, or any other major brand in this scale class.
• Can I actually use these boards for recovery, or are they just for display? — These are scale items designed for aesthetic and detail purposes on 1/10 scale RC models. They are NOT for full-size trucks or vehicles. For your RC truck, they function as authentic-looking accessories that enhance the visual appearance and scale authenticity of your build rather than providing functional recovery capability (your RC truck would be too small to require actual recovery equipment).
• Will the orange colour fade if I use my truck outdoors regularly? — The orange colour is moulded into the plastic during manufacturing, providing excellent UV resistance and colour fastness. These boards will maintain their vibrant safety orange appearance through regular outdoor trail use, storage, and handling without significant fading or discolouration.
• How do I mount these boards on my RC truck? — The boards feature a stackable design that allows flexible mounting options. You can position them on your chassis, attach them to suspension points, or mount them on custom brackets depending on your build's design. The moulded plastic won't damage your truck's electronics or components, and the lightweight construction means minimal impact on performance.
• Are these officially licensed MAXTRAX products? — Yes, these RC4WD boards are officially developed in collaboration with MAXTRAX, and the MAXTRAX name and logo are used under proper licensing from the MAXTRAX company. You're purchasing genuine, authorised products, not unlicensed imitations.
• How many boards come in each package? — You receive two recovery boards per package, allowing you to create symmetrical, authentic dual-board setups on your RC truck that mirror real recovery equipment configurations.
• What material are these boards made from? — The boards are manufactured from durable moulded plastic that provides excellent structural integrity whilst keeping weight to a minimum—essential for maintaining your 1/10 scale RC truck's performance and handling characteristics.
