Seals for the shocks. Much better than O-Rings

Here, this is straight off of Tamiya America's website...

"These Damper X-rings have X-shaped cross-sections and offer increased oil sealing effect compared to standard O-rings with circular cross-sections. Made from special silicone material, these X-rings also maintain their shape, and therefore their sealing ability, for a longer period of time. This makes them ideal for use with Aeration Dampers such as Item 42198 Buggy HL Aeration Damper Set and Item 54028 Buggy Aeration Oil Filled Damper Set. Item 42214 is designed for use with silicone damper oil while Item 42215 is for mineral based damper oil."

Has anyone seen them anywhere in stock? I´d like to fit them when i´m doing my damper ebuild for next season. Don´t like to take them all apart again only for the X rings.
So Asso and Losi damper oils are silicone based aren´t they?
