You'll get additional reduction with a worm drive vs straight cut bevel gears in a right angle gearbox. But (maybe it goes without saying) precise centering of worm gear backlash over main gear can be difficult to achieve too.

Has anyone ever tried to build/run a track machine with a single motor driving a differential and brakes for steering? That's how the full scale stuff works correct? Or at least the old time stuff I think?

Actually I think it is slipping clutches over braking
