That's honestly a better solution than the two differentials I hoped for and achieves essentially the same results. I just figured I'd you're trying to do something as silly as packing the power of 3 engines into one vehicle, creating a train of differentials that provide an output of (1+2)+3 would be far more amusing and mechanically overcomplicated.
But I guess whoever built this was trying to be slightly more serious. But obviously not serious enough to buy a bigger engine.
