The flap wont do much because the vex set itself is not really aerodynamic, but I will give it a shot.

The axes are seperate one axis for one wheel and one for the other.

I think I have an idea to help you with your steering. But you're going to have to sacrifice your original 3 wheel design. I suggest you turn it into a 4 wheel drive and using a rack and pinion setup of gears turn it into a car drive.

Or couldn't he just rotate the one front wheel he has now?

The tread would have to go back on that wheel, though

or, if another speed controller is acquired you could use the fans for steering. Slow one down as you turn its direction, kinda just like our larger robots...

for steering how about putting a servo on the front wheel?
