Re: 2 motors into 1 gearbox

You need to replace the sun (the pinion on the motor placed in the planetary) with another gear. Then drive that gear with a seperate gearbox that links the two motors to a single output. This could be as simple as a single larger gear linked directly to the input of the planetary, driven by both motors.
