Your transmission looks very good. I am curious about your solar panel. My
experiments with the Lego Solar Panels were successful but I don't think I
could move a heavy chassis. What voltage output does your solar panel
produce? I used two panels with capacitors to give me 5 volts to the motor.
You can have a look here:

Keep us posted about your project.
