You should try to put it together with a slight pivot point in the middle. Then you could hook up a 3rd motor to the pivot and steer it. Since it is a drag car, you could make the pivot VERY slight, so it wouldn't turn much at all.

P.S. Don't put 4 cells on there. Stop at 3. i put 4 cells with 2 motors on my Zap. It was the fastest thing I have ever seen. Both motors were in the rear. After 30 seconds of use, it was fried. What fried it was putting extra drag on the motors ie... holding the wheels under power, like pushing an object.

Stick with 3 cells man. Or do 4 cells with one motor. That would be a whole different project, though.

Good Job. Sorry bout the death of your steering, though.
