clean your motor every 10-15 runs. don't overgear.
i oil my ball bearings whenever i clean my motor. just a few drops of oil should be good.
after each run, the only thing i do is clean the truck.

dont worry about the bearings for now. just keep crud off them

tranny bearings if they are sealed, maybe every month to two months crack the case and re lube them. remember to grease ur diff internals, mine used to always lek the grease
