totally, I use Rocket fuel myself!:7
so long as the bearing is not submerged, or moisture does not intrude the casing, they should be fine!
Heck, I have 3 or 4 Chronarch Super-free's, all with dried out bearings, they are a little noisy, but man do they fly!!!!
Especially the new Shimano ARB bearings, they do come factory-greased, but if you clean them out, they are awesome, being they have no sheild! Give it a try!
