You can do with a single motor. You don't have to power both axles
Two motors. One to power one to steer.
I had an RC car as a kid that didn’t have steering. When it reversed, it turned left. That was the only directional control you had. I don’t know if it only had one motor, but I imagine it did.
Steering
Backup to turn one way was how they worked when I was a kid, but the also used a long cord instead of RF.
The fact y’all are having this conversation proves my point. It’s not self-evident lol. And there’s room for progress & innovation & creativity etc…
