Default Different engine Idea?

I have a 98cc 2 stroke that I got out of a snowblower. And I know the engine is far from ideal in terms of weight and size, but I thought itd be great to make some kind of RC car out of it. Drivetrain I dont have a problem with the thing I dont know how to do is steering and a servo for the throttle. Brakes may be a problem too.

Ive got a Radioshack truck that works find and was wondering if I could take servos out of that. I figure I could use the steering setup in it for throttle.

What kind of servo could I use for the steering, it would need to be pretty strong to turn the thing with the big engine.

I know that the motor probably has similar power to a nitro car, but hell, its free.

Thanks in advance
