Default STS RS3 on HPI R40

Can you fit that engine on that car? Also, can someone give me direction on how to start my car with a starter box? I tried doing it, but then the flywheel wouldn't spin. Also, is this car good for like casual driving, I don't really plan on racing it.

it will fit in your car , as for the direction it's all depends on what kind of starter box you are using...
trying to start a new STS engine can be a pain in the a$$...loosen up the glow plug a little when trying to start the engine , be really patient..i would recommend a 1/8 starterbox w/ 12v gelcel when trying to fire up for the first couple of times..
good luck

sure it will work, you might have some trouble starting the engine for the first couple of times but once you get it started , breaking in for a few tanks, it should be fine..
