Why Zips perform better...
Zips handle better because...
1. The surface area of the tires are thinner than the bit and give less resistance.
2. The tires are fullsize which give better handling on the front end.
3. The car is 1/64th in scale so steering is improved because there is greater distance between the front and rear wheels. (The turn begins farther ahead of the rear wheels, giving smoother "follow thru" with power and steering) <- for lack of a better way to express the physics of the effect.
4. ZIpZap motor RPMs are all optimum torque motors (betw 1.6-2.35) , which make a considerable difference since there is slightly more car to push.
Also, here is an excerpt from my previous post on why Zips match up and slightly edge out Bits in many ways...

Well I got mine a few days ago and I think they are great! Here are just a few reasons...
PROS:
-Real tire tread patterns (3 diff patterns)
-real rims, not cosmetic but actually 1/2 of the rim!
-1/64 scale. Means compatibility w/slotcar bodies
-better scale design, no cutesy factor
-heatsink (motor cover) secured w/screw
-controller has a strap
-possible ac adapter upgrade for controller
-$20 price tag
-smoke tinted plastic body for real tint windows
-longer frnt axle strut (more play, better for springs)
-motor end terminal centered for best contact
-comes with micro screwdriver
-thicker paint layer less prone to scratching
-dual spoilers
-space for 2 cells under pcb (with mod)
-high quality plastic casting
-excellent packaging (blister pack)
-complete accessory kits include everything!
CONS:
-bodies sit too high
-controller buttons recessed
-short antenna
-short range
-car antenna has specs printed along sleeve
Important to note that these are not OEM clones! They use a completely different PCB and 1/64th chassis. This is a different car that uses the same underlying technology... This variance warrants a separate patent and therefore does not infringe on Tomys copyright. Overall solid car and will give tomy run for money esp because modification parts and accessories are superior. Just my opinion...
