I picked up an Invacare Lynx Scooter's drive system, wiring harness complete with 
speed control and forward/reverse, two 12volt 17amp batters and onboard charger.  
The drive system has a differential in it.  The specs say that it will go 5-1/2 mph 
with a maximum load of 220 lbs.  

I have been wondering if this single motor and drive system will work on a tank.  
Since it has a differential drive axle, wouldn't a simple brake on each drive 
sprocket work to steer it?  Or is it more complicated than that?

Any and all comments welcome?
