Good evening, and Merry Christmas to the fine people of leaked.cx! Have you ever stared at your Traxxas Slash 2WD, wondering if that mysterious pile of aftermarket parts in your garage could actually transform it into an unbeatable beast? What if the secret wasn’t just in the motor or the ESC, but hidden in plain sight under the very wheels you drive on? Today, we’re not just speculating—we’re exposing a full, detailed leak on the tire and wheel combination that top racers are quietly adopting. But before we get our hands dirty with grease and threadlocker, this year has tested our community in unexpected ways. From a high-profile legal battle that captured our attention to the relentless pursuit of RC perfection, we’ve persevered. So, to begin 2024, we now present the sixth annual LeakThis Awards, celebrating the resilience and passion of users like you. As we head into 2025, we’ll be back with the 7th annual awards. For now, let’s dive into the reprieve you so desire: a casual, no-holds-barred review of the ultimate Traxxas Slash 2WD tire setup, leaked exclusively here.

The Dual Focus of Leaked.cx: Community, Crime, and RC Passion

Leaked.cx isn't just another forum; it's a digital town square where leaks of all kinds—from court documents to RC mods—are dissected, debated, and celebrated. This article embodies that spirit, tackling two seemingly disparate leaks that have dominated our feeds: the legal saga of Noah Urban and the technical secrets of the Traxxas Slash. Both represent different facets of "leaking" information—one from the court system, the other from the basements and workshops of dedicated hobbyists.

The Unlikely Connection: From Jacksonville Courts to Your Workshop

It might seem odd to juxtapose a federal case with RC truck upgrades, but on leaked.cx, everything is connected by the flow of information. Like 30 minutes ago, I was scrolling through random rappers' Spotify profiles and discovered that tracks associated with Noah Urban were still streaming—a point of contention given his ongoing legal issues. This highlights how digital footprints and leaks persist across platforms, much like how performance parts "leak" from pro builds to the mainstream. Our community thrives on uncovering these connections, whether it's a conspiracy charge or a conspiracy of one to make a Slash unstoppable.

Noah Urban (King Bob): A Biographical and Legal Breakdown

Before we shift to the fun stuff, we must address the serious matter that has been a tough topic for many on LeakThis this year. Noah Michael Urban, a 19-year-old from the Jacksonville, FL area, has become a case study in the consequences of alleged digital crime. His story intersects with our world because of his alias, "King Bob," and his brief moment in the music spotlight.

Bio Data: Who is Noah Urban?

Attribute	Details
Full Name	Noah Michael Urban
Known Alias	King Bob
Age	19 (at time of reported charges)
Hometown	Jacksonville, Florida Area
Primary Claim to Fame	Rapper featured on the 2019 "Jackboys" compilation album
Legal Charges	8 counts of Wire Fraud, 5 counts of Aggravated Identity Theft, 1 count of Conspiracy
Status	Facing federal prosecution

The Charges Explained: Wire Fraud, Identity Theft, and Conspiracy

Noah Urban is being charged with eight counts of wire fraud, five counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of conspiracy. These are not minor infractions; they are federal felonies carrying potential sentences of decades in prison. Wire fraud typically involves schemes to defraud using electronic communications (emails, texts, online transactions). Aggravated identity theft adds mandatory prison time if a real person's identity was used in the commission of another felony. The conspiracy charge suggests prosecutors believe he worked with others in a coordinated illegal effort.

Coming off the 2019 release of the “Jackboys” compilation album with his feature, Urban represented a new wave of SoundCloud-era rap. His alleged fall from grace into a federal case serves as a stark reminder of the line between artistic hustle and criminal enterprise. For a community that often discusses leaks of unreleased music, this case personalizes the real-world legal repercussions of digital activities. Although the administrators and moderators of leaked.cx will attempt to keep all objectionable content off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all content instantly. This case underscores why our community guidelines are non-negotiable.

Leaked.cx Community Standards: The Rules That Hold Us Together

In light of this year's challenges, it's crucial to reaffirm the principles that make this space functional. Our ability to discuss everything from federal cases to RC parts hinges on mutual respect.

Treat other users with respect. Disagreements are inevitable, but personal attacks shut down conversation.
Not everybody will have the same opinions as you. Your setup, your legal take, your music taste—diversity of thought is a strength, not a threat.
No purposefully creating threads in the wrong section. Keep legal discussions in legal forums, RC talk in hobby sections. This simple rule keeps information discoverable.

These guidelines aren't arbitrary; they are the scaffolding that allows leaks—whether of information or performance secrets—to be shared productively. As we head into 2025, we now present the 7th annual LeakThis Awards, honoring users who exemplify these standards while contributing killer content. Thanks to all the users for your continued dedication to the site this year. It has been a tough year for LeakThis, but we have persevered through it all, together.

The Main Event: Leaking the Ultimate Traxxas Slash 2WD Tire Setup

As of 9/29/2023, 11:25pm, I suddenly felt oddly motivated to make an article giving leaked.cx users the reprieve they so desire: a concrete, actionable upgrade path for their Slash. For this article, I will be writing a very casual review of an RC revolution—the specific tire and wheel combo that changes everything. The Traxxas Slash is known for its rugged, short-course-truck-inspired design and massive aftermarket support. But stock, it’s just a starting point. The real magic happens when you start swapping components, and nothing transforms handling and durability like the right tires mounted on the right wheels.

Why Your Tires Are the Most Important "Leak" You Can Apply

Think about it: your tires are the only part of the truck that touches the ground. Every bit of power, braking, and cornering force transfers through them. Stock plastic components tend to get fatigued and break fairly quick in the Maxx series trucks, and the Slash’s stock tires are no exception for serious bashers. Metalizing as much of the transmission as possible is great advice, but if your tires are slipping or shredding, you’re just spinning your wheels—literally. That and upgrade the servo asap are critical, but tire choice dictates how all that power gets to the ground.

The "Leaked" Setup: Decoding the 32s vs. 35s Debate

Here’s the controversial leak: the best all-around tire size for a 2WD Traxxas Slash isn't what Traxxas sells in the box. Dan Caussey, a veteran in the community, went with 32's because of a smoking deal on the tires and wheels, but the performance benefits are real. The slightly smaller overall diameter (compared to stock or 35s) offers a lower center of gravity and quicker acceleration. However, he notes, I am looking at the 35's next time around for high-speed stability on larger, open surfaces.

So, which is it? The "ultimate" setup is purpose-built:

For Bashing & Technical Tracks: 32-inch diameter tires (like Pro-Line's Icons or Badlands) on beadlock wheels. The lower gearing effect gives more punch, and the shorter sidewall can be more resistant to deforming under hard cornering.
For Speed & Smooth Surfaces: 35-inch diameter tires (like Pro-Line's Caliber or Trencher) provide a taller gear ratio for higher top speed and better ability to roll over obstacles and bumps.

Here’s a Traxxas Rally 4x4—a close sibling to the Slash—that often gets this setup right from the factory. Has the Velineon VXL setup with TQi remote and TSM (Traxxas Stability Management). This combination shows Traxxas understands that stability (from TSM) and control (from TQi) are as important as brute force. Your leak is to apply that philosophy to your 2WD Slash via tire selection.

The Complete "Leak" List: Parts That Actually Matter

A great tire on a weak wheel or axle is a wasted investment. The leaked setup is a system. Here’s what you need, in order of priority:

Tires & Wheels: As above, choose your size and tread based on your terrain. Has a lot of nice upgrades from brands like Pro-Line, JConcepts, or Durango. Beadlock wheels are a must for high-torque 2WD applications to prevent tire spin on the rim.
Metal Upgrade Kit: This is non-negotiable. Stock plastic components tend to get fatigued and break fairly quick in the Maxx series trucks—and the Slash shares many of these drivetrain components. Metal parts will help you survive jumps, landings, and wall hits. Start with the axle carriers, hinge pins, and possibly the transmission gears. Metalize as much of the transmission as possible.
Servo Upgrade: The stock servo is the weakest link in the steering chain. That and upgrade the servo asap. A high-torque metal gear servo (like from Futaba, Spektrum, or Hitec) will not only steer better but also last vastly longer. This is the #1 recommended upgrade for a reason.
Drivetrain Durability:It will be interesting to see how the 1500 drive train holds up over time—but with the above metal upgrades, you’ll be in much better shape. The Slash's drivetrain is robust but not indestructible under heavy 2WD torque.
The Visual Guide:Traxxas Slash parts diagram offers a comprehensive visual representation of the components. Download it. Study it. Knowing exactly where every screw and pin goes is half the battle in maintenance and upgrades.

Traxxas Slash, known for its versatility and parts availability, is a leading name in the RC industry. This ecosystem of support is why it’s the perfect platform for this kind of detailed, leak-style tuning. In this post we look at the best Traxxas Slash upgrades to make your truck stronger and faster, and the tire setup is the foundation of that speed and strength.

Putting It All Together: A Sample "Leaked" Build

Let’s synthesize this into a real-world example. Imagine building a Slash 2WD for aggressive backyard bashing and occasional track days:

Tires/Wheels: Pro-Line Icons 32mm on 2.8" beadlock wheels (all-terrain tread).
Drivetrain: Full metal axle kit from a reputable aftermarket brand. Metal parts will help you avoid the dreaded "axle walk" and broken hinges.
Servo: A 1/10 scale, 15kg+ torque, metal gear servo with a sturdy servo horn.
ESC/Motor: Keep the Velineon VXL system if you have it—it’s a great match for this setup. Has the Velineon VXL setup with TQi remote and TSM? Even better; TSM will help manage the power of the 2WD layout.
Body: A lightweight, clear polycarbonate body to keep overall weight down.

This combination has a lot of nice upgrades that work in concert. The smaller tires reduce strain on the drivetrain while the metal parts handle the torque. The strong servo translates to precise control, letting you place the truck exactly where the tires can grip.
