I don't know what Hosim recommends but any silicone based grease like NAPA Sil-Glyde should lubricate the diff gears and be safe for the plastic housing. Other grease might work too but you need to make sure it's safe for use with plastic components.

As a side note, my son got an X-07 about a year ago and the diffs that came with it were very delicate. Granted he's not the most cautious driver, but the gears appeared to me made of some kind of cast zinc alloy instead of steel. If you haven't already done so, it might be worth upgrading the diffs if you're planning to unleash the full power of the X-07's brushless motor.
