Re: my first rc car
Good luck with the new acquisition. You are going to need a set of engine mounts for that engine, and will have to drill the aluminum plate for said mounts to get that in there.

I don't know exactly off hand, but I think all 1/10 nitro stuff uses 32 pitch gears. So whichever clutch bell/flywheel etc. that fits that engine should mate with the car's spur. Making slots for the engine mounts on the aluminum plate in the fore aft direction will allow you to adjust the gear mesh.

Re: my first rc car
The smartest thing would be to just buy a used Sandmaster off eBay. For example this one went for under $20 and is more or less complete: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280870676221
