There is really nothing to do but get the box, if you want to remove the pull start you can buy a cover to replace all that stuff

No the starter box only needs to spin the flywheel from under the car (is that cool or what)

it doesnt really matter but if you put a cover on and you dont have your starter box your screwed. The advantages to a cover is that it is suppose to give you higher rpms -not by much though- and will shave maybe a tenth of a second off your lap time if you race. But if yo dont race keep the pull start.

I still have pull start on off road RC10GT because i dont race it, but i use the box to start it
My nitro rustler i took all the starter stuff off (because it quit) put the cover on and use box
My on road cars dont have pull start so they have the stock cover on them
I only use the pull start to prime the engine and run after run oil in
Just have fun anyway you do it
