I have heard that motorcycle fork seal grease is closest too the AE slime ....

I've used this for a long time. One tube will probably last years and can be bought from any pool store.

I picked up a tube of synthetic grease from the local auto parts store. I remember seeing a pro drive use it for just about everything some time ago.

AE green slime works good as does the GMK "Shock Snot".

We have an o-ring grease coming out soon for shocks as well as gear diffs. Launch date is mid august.

If you really want to find out what Green Slime really is, contact AE and request the MSDS sheets for it. By law, they have to provide them to anyone asking. Then read the MSDS sheet to see what the stuff really is, and who manufactures it. I know ppl who have already done this to find out what AE diff lube really is, and who makes it. No RC company makes any of these greases, they buy the stuff in bulk from big chemical companies or distributors.

Guess it came from Cliff's motorcross experience in using the stuff.
