ZZ Motor doesn't fit MS!
I purchased the ZipZaps Performance Booster Upgrade (1.0, 2.2, 3 rear axels, 3 gears, 3 suspension bars for 7.99) from Radioshack believing the motors would be compatible with my microsizers.
It turns out that the motors do NOT fit in the MS chassis. (After a lot of mashing and pushing I was able to fit the 2.2 motor into my MS, but it was seated at an angle and just looked "uncomfortable"... I don't want to break anything :*(
On closer inspection I found out that the Microsizer motor looks like

but the ZipZaps motor looks like

^- also theres a little bump on the contact at the bottom
I'm kind of disappointed and wondering what kind of modification I can do to the chassis of my bits so I can fit these motors. (I'd like to be able to interchange bit and zz motors please!)
One semi-nice thing is that my Shenqiwei clone motor is exactly like the ZipZaps and they fit very well.
P.S. In case you are wondering the 1.0 zz motor is very very slow, but the 2.2 zz motor is VERY VERY FAST, faster than the stock shenqiwei (which was already faster than the MS).
Speed comparison: 1.0zz < stock MS < stock SQW < 2.2zz (or is it 2.0?)
