Bit "clones" and ZZ's?

I was in wal-mart yesterday and wondering through the toy section as I always do, I found a car called "motorworks" (anyone heard of it?) it looks just like a bit, it was only $13.88, so I said what the heck and bought it. Ive never owned or seen a bit in person, but this thing flied!! It had lots more torque than my ZZ and was faster than my ZZ with the NOS motor and red gearing!! It had one problem though, it was uncontrolable!! It would spin out almost every turn!! So, I took it apart to check it out. This car has the same size motor (size wise, not rpm wise, have no idea what rpm the motor is) as a ZZ, but the car is the size of a bit, also, the motor is connected to wires instead of being free like the ZZ's the car is not made to be hopped up. The rear axle is connected with a screw and there is no front suspention. One thing I liked about the car is it came with a seperate carger and controller. The controller takes three AA batteries, and the charger takes three AAA's. Anyway, I switched the board with the one in my zz, WOW!! It is sooo much faster, tons of torque, and the ZZ chassis handles lots better than the "motorworks" one did, and im still using the "motorworks" stock motor!! It so fast with the red gearing!!! Im also using the battery from the "motorworks" car, im getting about 4 and a half minutes with it, more than with the ZZ battery. I had to modify the charger slightly to get the ZZ chassis to line up for a charge, but it was easily done by cutting a couple tabs off the charger. Has anyone heard of a "motorworks" car before?? Ive got to go to work now but when I get home im going to try the NOS and turbo motors and experement with different gearing...
