Yep, I'm talking up to 500.000cst rated silicone oil, I'll likely have to get some Kyosho though as most brands stop around the 100-200k mark.
Keep in mind for me this is a 4 gear TOP micro gear diff up front right now, and they need heavier oil to feel the same as a 6 gear full sized diff, same micro in the rear uses 10k when the bigger ones use like around 1k.
Which also brings up what people do run in the rears, for the SpecR's etc, people run anything from 250cst shock oil (seems extreme to me), up to say 1500cst, my Yokomo came with a bottle of 700cst, I think the new Serpent comes with 1200cst, no idea what the factory fill spec is on the SpecR, though I plan on buying a SpecR soon...
