Glad to hear you guys like our Z.12R Team engine. Yes, it's manufactured by Picco, but fully done according to our own specs. It has nothing to do with any other Picco or Picco/OEM-based engine on the market so far!

We were really happy how our first year with our own engines started and 3rd and 5th at the Nitro Euro's this weekend showed the power & reliability...

Btw, there's unfortunately no way to compare pricing in Europe and the US. Shops just work in a different way on so are sales taxes etc.
The LRP engines are normally very affordable compared to the other leading brands.
