If you have even more differentials, you could set up the "turning" motor
so that its power is split - one direction turns (this limits you to
turning one way, but there are always sacrifices), and the other side
adds to the forward drive (put this shaft and the "drive" motor into yet
another differential and drive the "drive" part of the differtrans with
the body of this differential. Uses only 4 diffs., no problem!
