500.000cst for low grip (dirt/clay/loamy) and 1.000.000cst for high grip (carpet/astro) is our preferred diff oils.
This is what we have been running and always coming back to for the last 6months of use outdoors and indoors
The diff gears on the Xray are small and with very little resistance so it needs a bit higher viscosity.
And with a thicker fluid you also get more traction on power.
A thinner oil will be easier to drive but won't be as fast and create as much traction as a thicker oil.
But there is no right or wrong here.
Some will always prefer a looser diff than others.
Right now on high grip carpet we are using the slipper instead of the diff with 1.000.000cst as the slipper is faster.
The center diff is easier to drive but not as fast.
So from 6 months of testing the center diff is not THE definitive answer but instead another tuning aid for different track conditions
