No way! Have a look at this:

I'd mis-remembered '350rpm' as '1:350 gearing' from the manual for the Motor
Accessory set (8735, pg 9), and 350rpm is the 'official' lego number.

LOL, the 1:350 ratio really grabbed my attention when I first read it.

350 rpm sounds reasonable. The MIT link states a measured RPM of 375. I
guess it's very dependant on the input voltage.

If you can convince Steve Lane to give up details on his transmission
design, I think he can help ;-)
Thought you were the one asking for help! ;-)

No, Jan-Tore Skålvik originated this thread. Of course I'm very interested
in the responses too. I'd like to know what other people think.

However, your request sparked some interest in me, so I designed a system
to achieve 1:2016 reduction

Whoa. That's definitely gear-breaking torque.
Wasn't brave enough to try it (have already spent way too much money on
BrickLink this month without having to replace gears!)

Save an image file from MLCAD and post it on Brickshelf!

Hey, that's pretty compact. It's definitely a gear-munching machine.

But, if you had a need for high gear reduction with a very low torque output
it would work great.

When I first built it I couldn't actually see the final shaft turning - then i calculated the reduction and stuck a 1x3 lift arm on the end to check that nothing was actually slipping.
