Yessir! Standard diff lube is way to heavy to get the correct action out of the diff. Nitro's suggestion of TriFlow is excellent. I would try it in a heartbeat since I have used it before and am familiar with it.
No matter what diff lube you choose, these diffs are not a "build them and forget it" affair. If you want your diff to be good and consistent you should take apart and clean and relube often even on very clean tracks.
BTW, Kyosho 5000 is not totally clear. They make at least 2 5000wt diff lubes that I have seen. A grease (like for ball diffs) and a silicone goo (for nitro gear diffs). I am pretty sure I have seen a 3rd variety too which was a paste in little tins. No matter what... STILL way too heavy
