While there may not be an actual flywheel, it's still technically there! You'll notice that on each crankshaft, there's a large bit of metal opposite of where the yoke meets the crank. This is known as the crankshaft counterbalance, which applies the resistance normally supplied by a flywheel.
If you look at the Stanley Steamer engines, they have the exact same thing (as do most steam cars anyways).
