Default Mr. Darby

I'm not really new at the RC boat hobby, but I'm still finding my way around here...
I've started a Mr. Darby, and before I get too far into it, I'd like to ask a little advice This is the biggest project I've taken on, so I need to know:
-How do you manage lubrication of the drive shafts?
-Are the Dumas motors that came in the running gear kit worth using? I've read some opinions that they should be replaced with something bigger...
I plan on using belt & gear coupling instead of the brass gears. I figure they'll be quieter and more durable.

Anyhow, it's nice to be on board here! Thanks for your help.
