Planetary gear box? This is a possible solution

This is a gear reduction that I can up with from looking at the differential for a while. I don't know if it is a real planetary gearbox but it does do a job. The red axel is the input, and the blue 40t gear is the output. Yes I do know that two steps are omitted, but that's part of the fun. You can download the *.DAT here.

Pictures of the first one are at the bottom. Once again the blue gear is the output.

Just a thought for all you gear heads out there... I found that when I was testing this with my hand I had an idea. If two of these are connected by the same drive motor and a secondary motor is put in the center (where the green bricks are) this could be an adder-subtractor. I'll work on this over the weekend maybe. Someone please e-mail me at mikefusion@hotmail.com if this is not a correct planetary gear.

(Don't worry you're not missing anything it was just an extra step I accidentally put in)

Special thanks to MLCAD cause drawing all of these by hand would really suck.

These images are of the original gearing and an actual pic of the finished one just to prove that I actually made it. As you can see, the original does have better gear reduction but it doesn't have a workable output. (It was more of a test to see what could be done) The small black wheel is equivalent to the green brick on the MLCAD one. I think that I can build one of these into the wheels from the Super Street Sensation, kinda working on that right now.
