Yup, I see it that way too. I've played with Microsizers in the local hobby shop and I liked the quality of the ZZs more. The scrunched proportions of the sizer puts me off right away. The car I played with had been beat up a little, but holding it in my hands and looking at it closely just left me liking the ZZs more. I do like the clear lenses and some of the paint jobs, but the shape is too toy like. The wheels are just to close together. I hate the stock rims as they again have a solid chrome toy look to them. The ZZ tires are also much more realistic with the tread patterns offered and everyone admits that the handling is sweet. The only real issue seems to be speed. I must say that a ZZ with the red gears and the NOS motor is too fast to road race on a good challenging track (mine is 35ft long in all). A lighter body seems all that is needed to add a little more juice. Also, it's nice that the body cavity can actually hold up to three batteries if insane speed is your bag. Drag racing doesn't really interest me right now, so I don't understand this gotta be the fastest screamer out there retoric. Just give me a nice complex track and someone to race beside. I do plan to get true bits in the future just so I can race more cars at once. But, the Petit Marus are looking pretty good. Especially when the new bodies come out.
