Thats the way the I originally planed to run it with a motor for each track, but I think the tracks will end up pulling the front wheels from side to side instead of using them to steer. using one motor and a Differential will let it turn more smoothly and if need be ill and brakes to each side so when the wheels are turned fully to one side it will start braking that side.
