Reds = LM factory, same factory as Sirio, Werks, Orion and Nvision.
All these engines have a 14.2mm crank and a lot of them (but not all) have the 16,2 bore x 16,9 stroke and use the same carb (updated in 2010). Most all these engines work well with the 2013 / 2057 / 2058 pipes. Reds uses a 2083 pipe with special manifold aswell.

REDS Racing ZR12T Tuned
HI
Has anyone made some experience with this .12 engine, ZR12T Tuned?
Would you recommend this engine? Which pipe would match best for that engine?
Or is this engine difficult to tune?
Thank you in advance.

Reds Racing R5T buggy engine
Reds Racing R5T buggy engine
"During the European 1/8 scale Buggy Championships in Germany, Marco Rossi showed us the latest Reds Racing buggy engine, the R5T. Tuned by M. Rossi, the completely new designed long stroke 5-port motor features a new exhaust port with a booster function for increased acceleration, a new port design for better fuel economy, a new CNC-machined piston and an updated 14mm balanced crankshaft. Other features include ultra-high-quality Swiss ball bearings, a new composite slide carburetor and a cooled combustion chamber. Also new is a lightweight crankcase and cooling head with updated head design for a lower centre of gravity. The R5T will substitute the older XR line and becomes available starting from October 2011."

Picco based for sure 
(just like the new Reds on road engine)
Looks a lot like the Picco P7-R evo 4 / Boost 5TR
Those are known for being powerfull engines, so a good base for the new Reds

Yes looking at the carb it's definitely not LM based. So Picco makes these?
By the looks of it Reds Racing has engines manufactured by both LM and Picco. Interesting.

Mario Rossi left LM and went to Picco for his mills. The XR line made by LM will be discontinued and will be replaced by these Picco made mills.
The reason why? Don't know. One speculation i read on the onroad forum which imo is viable: Mario Rossi wanted a race proven platform for his onroad engines which can take the abuse of onroad racing. Picco can deliver that platform.
