One yes they are supposed to be greased. Make sure to wipe the grease they put on the axels before putting the Metal bearings; You will no longer need that on their because that was for the stock bushings. Also the ceramic bearings are well worth the $50 because of the amount of friction they get rid of. The reason you got them at a disscounted price i think is due to RS trying to get rid of the EVO line to make room for the new line coming out later this year. Thats my guess on that anyways.
