Default Legend R/sturm/elite R and picco .12

looking for a second engine. Looking for speed all out speed. So which one you guys think would be the ideal one. Yes the engine will be modded. I did not include the mito for a reason.

Love my EMX-WC's! Not only fast, but smooth usable power band. Raced against a Legend,R and it was also very fast. But that car was in the hands of a World Class driver.

From what i've heard the Picco engines don't really enjoy being modified as much as some other brands, I think the Picco's are pretty much on the limit anyway, you just hurt fuel economy by modifying them.

Novarossi and OS engines take well to being tuned up and the gains are real, I've been told this by a top engine modifier from Italy, not sure how much truth there is in it, as with all things take with a pinch of salt.

Have a look on the REDS WTS engine (Picco based)
I'm still faster than a picco and Nova.
The power of this engine is just awesome...
Reliable and easy to tune - these 2 points were important for me too

It still doesn't beat the Picco EMX-WC in my opinion for the price as well as performance. The REDS is very expensive to be honest. OS 1201T is also an epic engine.
