But there isnt any literature to explain the differences...
there 3 different rims & foams
The 'Tyre 1/12 Front/Rear's US' are the Jaco rim/foam
The '1/12 front/rear ITA' are a white rim which is softer the Pro version
The '1/12 front/rear Pro' is lighter than ITA rim and is opaque
as for foam types I have no idea on the Xceed types
I'm using the Pro's in Medium front with soft rear and they are working for me in the UK on a green to medium grip carpet. I'm not using additive on them either.
