RE: Best pipe for the Picco .26 red dot?
The Red Dot has the bore and stroke of a BB, regardless of the crankcase size(length I should say, because heightwise it is BB size). It actually has the same bore and stroke as the Picco Big Block .26. The case was shortened, as was the length of the crank to fit the Revo and Tmaxx engine mount specs.
They were right when they said it needs the BB pipe, because it falls within the mechanical parameters of a BB.
