The one tip I would heavily emphasize is to NOT over oil the motors. Just a simple drop, pull the shaft in and out, roll the motor over then add one more and then THAT'S IT! Both ends... the pinion and the 'com' end.

I built motors when I slot car raced and this applies here even with can motors is that oil will kill the performance and life of a motor if it gets into the brush area.
