Could it be necessary to test the motors to make sure the same input produces the same output? e.g. power, rpm? Given the way the controllers work, the speed should be the same or the motor just won't run, but theory is one thing, reality is often something else.

Could it be necessary? Maybe. I don't think it will though. However, since so many people have brought it up, maybe I should buy some pinions for the 4 motors I have laying around in my room and do a test.
The difference between this and "audiophile music" is with speakers, if they aren't matched cancellation will occur. With the motors, I expect them to self regulate to share the load because without load they would all be spinning faster. It won't be possible for one to be driven by another motor.

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.

I'm just not convinced oil will stay on the gear at 100kish rpm. Maybe enough of a film would, but I'm not so sure of it. Which is why I would first try a dry lube. We will see. Ill be doing enough bench testing that Ill be able to get some good observation of what happens with some different stuff.
