Thats an interesting design. The plastic skids act as a torsion setup. As for the steering I would mount a servo near where you have the square bar and connect both tierods to the servo horn.

just to let you know ive done that same thing and on the bottom of the bulk head you will need to make a bracket that connects to the chassis or your axles will be moving back and forward alot
