I'll have to check what I'm running exactly on the ESC, I do remember I'm on 5 1st punchrate and 10 2nd with a 6.5. IMO 5.5 is too much motor for the car in shorty with it being so light, not that it can't handle it just it makes the car too fast and aggressive to be properly controllable through the infield.
Over the years we've all got used to our 4wd's getting heavier and heavier and cramming more and more motor in to make them fast enough. The 413 being so light doesn't need as much motor to be quick in a straight line. At Southport in the finals starting 10th, in each of the legs I was at least alongside the car in front half way down the straight and having to back off not to plough into the back of people

I run it with a 5.5 turn engine and 24t pinion. The sun where shinning and we had really high traction. I experienced that the front wheels lifted from the grass . Why? Is this because of to thick centre oil?

Too much motor
The car is very light and shorter than most of the current 4wd's which makes it ideal for pulling wheelies! If it had a slipper and if it was set right (just loose enough to protect the drivetrain a bit) it wouldn't stop it wanting to pick the front wheels up. What you will find though is you're accelerating
much faster than other cars, even if it doesn't feel like it.
I think most people will be happiest with a 7.5 or 8.5 with the car in shorty, it'll still be plenty fast enough and much more controllable than the 5's a 6's that are the norm. In my experience so far I'm 1 or 2 turns slower with the same electrics compared to what I ran in my B44, anyone that races at York indoors that has seen my car over the last few weeks with a 6.5 in compared to the 5.5 I used to run in the 44 will verify it's plenty fast enough
