Torque on back wheels only...

That grease should work ok... but make sure you take out the rubber o-rings before you hit it with brake cleaner. It will chew them up and ruin them. Then when the grease gets warm it will leak out and make a mess.

Why not use silicone oil? It works better than grease and gives you more of a posi-traction diff.

I used this in the front/rear of my savage: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBZT5&P=7

Using a heavy diff oil allows some power transfer to the wheel that has grip.

Like when you lift up one side of your savage and hit the gas, almost all of the power goes to the wheels in the air and they balloon up. With heavy oil in the diff, a larger percentage of that power is transfered to the tires that are on the ground. The heavier the oil, the more of a transfer you will notice.

A lot of guys that race savage's and MT's in general run lighter oil. Something like 25K in the rear and 15K in the front. I found that with general bashing, 50K in the front and rear worked well. It makes the truck less likely to get high centered on dirt clods and such.

In the 1:1 world, it's referred to as limited slip diff (LSD) or positraction.
