I wouldn't use grease on the motor bushings just because it might not penetrate into the bushing.
You want to use oil so it soaks into the oilite bushing.

If you look very very closely at a bushing they are somewhat porous so the oil kind of soaks into them and keeps lubricating untill all the oil is gone.You do need to re-oil them from time to time just dont over do it.

I have used the grease in my ball diff, inside front gear diff and on the suspension kits shock shafts.

Of course you guys know that the 1/8 scale buggies use different thickness's/stickyness of grease in the diff's to set up for different traction conditions.
