Diff lube

Ok, I've been out of the hobby for some time, so all of the grease and oil I had is gone. I'm rebuilding my Thunder Shot/Terra Scorcher, and I'm wondering what grease to use in the diff. It's a stock gear diff, and I'm just rebuilding the car for the kids to play with when they're over so no racing or high performance. I have bearing grease and white lithium (I think that's it) out in the garage, would either of those work?

A smidge of white lithium. A couple of small match head sized dabs and then work the diff until it is spread nice and light. Going for a thin film not whipped grease peaks like lemon meringue pie.

That's what I would do. Someone else might have more insight.
