Higher number means thicker oil, not all companies use the same weight system, but they are generally in the same ballpark. Pick one brand of oils and stick with them, then you know that the weights will be conistant when compared to each other. I would try out some 100k in the center for on-road use. Sometimes RTR cars just have grease in the diffs, or even nothing at all, so you should open them up and check.

I am surprised they are suggesting that high of weight for the front also, for an off-road vehicle. Usually you don't see much higher than 10-20k in the front for a buggy. That suggestion sounds like what is run in 1/8 on-road GT cars like the Inferno GT or Ofna GTP.
