Diff putty or bluetac works well, 1Mil Silicon oil also. It does not need to be locked as in being a spool, but tight enough that you get more or less equal torque going to each wheel.

In a touring car you will lock the front diff in a drifter you lock the rear diff. A tighter diff adds aggression at that end of the car, in a tc you want aggression at the front to pull you through and drive out of corners, in a drifter you want aggression at the rear to make over steer much easier to achieve.
