once again im referencing the rc world habits here. With a composite spur no lubrication is needed. With a metal on metal setup some people run them no lubrication with no ill effects and some run a dry lube such as teflon or graphite powder.

ill probably go for dry lubes and see how they work. If I have to lift the hood every time I fill up and relube while waiting on the pump so be it. I'd probably do it for inspection purposes anyways. There are also "permanent coatings available.
I'm not going to mess with oil at all though.
If the motors are balanced and the heat produced from the gears, barrings, and what not are cool enough, then very little is need to keep it from over heating.

I would guess very light oil, and very little oil is needed. Again balance might be the biggest issue.

Never know till it is tried, tested, and broken.
