Over 3 years in development Quickdraw’s newest engine is a true Pioneer in the RC Engine field, there is no other RC engine that uses the state of the art cylinder porting design that this new engine uses and because of this it is able to produce more horsepower and torque by a very wide margin than any other engine in its class. With 7.7 peak HP at 16,200 RPM and 7.2 HP at 19,000 RPM, the 26cc Pioneer engine has the potential to make most boats a rocket from the very bottom end (slow milling) all the way up to 19,000+ RPM. Not advertising hype, but fact! It truly is a Pioneer, it gives you the best of both worlds, very strong bottom end and excellent top end. A word about low end and slow milling; it is becoming more popular to approach the clock very slowly at a start of a race (slow milling). The Pioneer has addressed requests for better low end torque to do this, notice the flat torque curve on the dyno graph. It will slow down very slow within reason and still leap out of the water when you nail the throttle. Although the 26 Pioneer is an extremely potent engine even more of these good characteristics are available in the 29cc Pioneer, see below.

29cc Pioneer:
8.5 HP at 14,900 to 15,900 RPM
7.5 HP at 18,500 RPM
7.3 HP at 19,000 RPM


Through continued development the Quickdraw 29 Pioneer now produces these extraordinary results, this is by far the best choice between the two engines no matter what type of boat or racing you are doing. The 29 has more HP and torque than the 26 throughout the entire RPM range. It revs just as high and as well as the 26. Externally both engines are identical, only the bore size is different. Look at the dyno graph for the dramatic difference between the two engines and notice the extremely flat torque curve. Because of the 29 Pioneer’s wide power band and loads of low and mid range torque it is a very fun and easy engine to set up and drive. It has also replaced our old 35cc engine.


Something that you should understand about peak HP is that the peak number is not what really makes your boat fast, all that number really is for is selling engines. Most everybody does it including us, that is because that is the first thing everybody wants to know (they ask "How much HP does it have?"). What is much more important than the peak HP is what the shape of the power curve looks like. The lower range of the curve is the area that you rely on to keep your RPMS up in the corner and accelerate off the corner. The peak HP obviously plays some part in it but you are at peak HP for a very brief moment, you are below the peak a lot and you are well above the peak most of the rest of the time so your top speed is determined by how much power you have from 18,000, 18,500 and on up, that is what determines how fast your boat goes, not how much power you have at peak HP RPM. We can make the Pioneer have a considerably higher peak number but it suffers in the high RPM range because of it and that would not be a good trade off; that would definitely slow you down. When you are comparing engines look at the shape of the curve, that is what tells the true story about what you are getting, not the peak HP claims.

Please note: That this engine or any other engine is not a cure for a bad set up or the wrong prop; more HP will not fix a badly set up boat. You must do your part to set up your boat correctly and spend the money on different props if you expect to realize the gains that these Pioneer engines makes possible. If you don’t get your boat set up correctly you can plan on still getting beat by boats that have a good set up with an engine that has considerably less HP than the Pioneer; that is how important boat set up is.

Also, these Pioneer engines are capable of moving a lot of air through the ports and because of this you have to have a massive amount of air coming in and going out of your cowling.  You can NOT have a tight cowling around the carburetor, the engine will not tolerate it and it will run really bad (click on carb shield button below ).  This will probably be a problem because so many of the new boats are coming out with really tight aerodynamic cowlings to have a really cool "look", but just understand this engine will not tolerate this really cool look, you have to be practical if you expect it to run good. 

The Quickdraw Pioneer still retains excellent reliability, ease of starting and easy installation in boats that previously had a Zenoah installed. It is not a direct bolt in replacement for a Zenoah, but it is close. You only need to move the pull starter side rubber isolators forward ¼ " (6mm); that is the only difference. The collet side is the same mounting; the Pioneer still uses the standard style Zenoah motor mounts. The Quickdraw Pioneer will mount much lower in a boat than the Zenoah will due to the lack of mounting bolts under the pull starter magneto area. It is also easy on fuel. It runs best on 87 octane pump gas and 10 ounces to the gallon of Honda HP2 oil. They are very easy to tune, they are not overly sensitive on the needles and they are not finicky or temperamental in any way, they are very user friendly, particularly if you have the modified WYK33 carburetor.  Any of the butterfly style WT carburetors are not as easy to get the needles right.  The WYK33 carb makes it a piece of cake. 

They retain the 4 bearing bottom end that helps resist crank twisting. They use six #8 head bolts to hold the very large oversized head button; this large head button keeps the engine running very cool. The #8 head bolts are a big improvement over the old #5 head bolts in the old High Torque, they are much easier to work on. They still have an excellent coolant path with the entire exhaust side of the cylinder cooled all the way down to the crank cases; this also means no need for any water cooled pipe adapters. These engines also feature exhaust mounting bolts at the 12 and 6 o’clock position, this makes taking the pipe on and off in the boat much easier.

In most cases, your usual modified Zenoah or Quickdraw High Torque props will NOT WORK. These props are usually too small and not near enough prop for these engines, the engines will usually over rev badly with standard modified Zenoah or High Torque props on them. You will have to invest in some new props, however some customers have had good results using their existing props and increasing the props pitch and running them deeper in the water. You will also have to work with your boat set up because in most cases boats set up for a modified Zenoah or Quickdraw High Torque will not handle the power of the Quickdraw Pioneer without a change in set up.
