Depending how it is set up, I think this could work fine. The best idea would be a software traction control system, so the FPs are only ever doing as much work as is required. If they aren't spinning too fast, and only doing as much work as the wheels allow, I don't think they would have too much trouble. Then again, it's nice to keep the cg low, so having the heavy motors in the bottom would probably be preferable. Note that I've never used the Fisher Prices, so I'm just guessing. If someone who knows a bit more than me could comment, that would be helpful.
