Assuming those are 44, 50 and 60T gears. That's only 1.36 lbs per side in gears. This could easily be cut in half w/ basic dishing of the gears on a lathe (or not ideally, a mill).
There is some what tied up in all the shafts/bearings for the intermediate gears. Assuming 2 FR8's per axle, and aluminum shafts at 2 inches long, this is .86 lbs per side.
This isn't a crazy amount of weight to cleanly solve the problem.

Bold statement. I would wager 254 was quicker for sure.
