A starter box for small scale fuel powered vehicles includes a rigid container with two sets of mounting hardware on the top surface of the container. The mounting hardware engages suspension components of the vehicle. The starter box includes a drive wheel assembly connected to a brushless motor. The assembly includes a drive wheel with a frictional perimeter surface. The drive wheel extends partially through an opening in the top surface to engage a flywheel of the vehicle. Both sets of mounting hardware are horizontally movable to adapt to different vehicles. One set of mounting hardware is spring loaded and moves vertically when the vehicle is pressed downwardly to engage the drive wheel and a switch connecting the motor to a battery through an electronic speed control (ESC). The ESC is programmable to control the motor speed, acceleration, and latency of engagement while monitory the charge level of the battery.
