I'm thinking that by limiting yourself to a single motor driving both tracks, you are making it more complicated than it could be. If each track was driven by a dedicated motor and ESC, then motor speeds can be controlled much like a tank, i.e. one track electronically slowed down by transmitter mixing when the steering servo is turned.
Perhaps another option is to drive only one track and let the other side freewheel.

Anyone know a good place to get a Differential of this type? Needs to be more robust then the rc car diffs i see around but still small less then 2 inches in diameter.
