Since my wife has been referring to it as the "Barbiecar" I'll cut you some slack. The only smooth surface is in the house, so not much of a video, but I'll post a short one later.

Really nice and cute project indeed, I love it. How does it drive?

With a 3000kv motor, skinny smooth front tires on wood flooring, I get understeer. There really isn't any place near me where I can drive this, except in the house.

Those tires don't make a lot of contact with the ground, due to the curve along the face. Maybe some tires with a flatter cross-section might work better, or you might add some weight up front on the chassis. Looks great, though!

I will probably make shorter lower control arms so I can run a fatter flat front tire and still keep it inside the wheel well. This is more of a shelf queen.

I stayed with the stock arms and mounted the stock mini tires on the same rim, much better.
