Have you got a contact name and website for Avid?
They last the same and feel/spin the same as the original Mugen ones in my mtx4r
I race with a guy sponsored by avid that made the a-main in the US nat's and they always looked good, lol, in his car so I tried and am very happy.
I run the rubber seal most time stuffed with tamiya ceramic grease when new and the metal shield for 'big' races' in the hubs anyway.
I feel oil is great for electric but nitro needs grease, for me, it lasts much longer and the drag difference is small esp with powerful nitro engines
