Not without some modification. The Zip motor has a larger contact point where the MicroSisers have a verry mutch smaller point.

In addition to cj's point, the can itself is shorter... the stock bit motors anyway. I've found that kyle's, aka bitchar-gmotors and Extreme Micros have longer cans and work much better in ZZ's than Bit's.

I can back up with kwik says, tight fit in the bit, but it fits and works. perfect fit in the ZZ.

I agree with what was said above. Tomy motors are a little smaller, after market motors are a lttle bigger, and Zip Zap motors are just a tad bigger than that. Zip Zap's motors started to crack the back tab on my my Bit, and Microsizer.

You may have to tweak the motor contact tab in on the zip zap to get better contact when running the shorter stock bit motors. The zip zap motors crack the back tab on my bits and microsizers too. I have one that cracked the whole back end so the pinion would not mesh properly. I put a 7 tooth pinion on the purple zip motor in this thing at it hauls.

Zip Zap motors are about .488" long vs MS motors .480" long.
