On another note, it's only really necessary to drive one axle - the drive rods tend to work fine for transmitting power.

The extra gears were just from playing with the parts.

It's a shame the lego motors run so slow.   With the worm drive you lose a lot of speed,  but outside of a transverse mount arrangement for the motor,  I don't see a way around the worm arrangement.  And the modern lego motors are way too long for that, and the older motors are really low power.
