We saw something similar -- one of the planet gears got stuck, wouldn't spin. We popped it off with a tool, cleaned it up, re-lubed and re-assembled, and have been running it with no further problems.
Your advice about checking the lubrication is very good.
Oh, and like your team, we were using the AM planetary on a practice shooter wheel.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
