RE: 50" bonzi"
For my money the QD35 is old news. Expensive, good power, expensive for parts, and unforgiving. Something breaks and they want you to ship it back to Quickdraw. Bonzi now state clearly that there is NO WARRANTY on Quickdraw motors - That says a lot!!. Consider the reality that an inline will make more power for less money. Even Bonzi are switching over from Quickdraws to the inline zenoah (they have not officially released the new motor - but they are actively working on it).
There are other versions of the inline zenoah out though - some more than an year old. Anything breaks on an inline zenoah and you are looking at the cost of a zenoah part which is very easly accessable. Worst case with a zenoah - you are buying a complete motor which will set you back around $200. My last Quickdraw rebuild cost me $700 (and that was before they had a big price increase).
An inline zenoah may be a little powerful for the 50 though. Ask the guys at bonzi their recommendation. It does run well with the power of a QD35 though.
