Default stopping engine w/ piston at bdc?

Here's a total newbie question. But that's because I'm a total newbie. How do I make sure the piston is at the bottom of it's stroke, or bottom dead center, when I stop the car? I'm sure that if I had a new RTR or kit to look at, the instructions would tell me how. But as my MT does not yet exist (at least not in my posession) I am curious. Is there a marking on the flywheel or something? I know on my real car that TDC is clearly marked on the damper, or is it the thing the damper is connected to? I probably have no business owning a nitro engine....
