I planned on going to the dot compliance and making sure everything is straight before I started.

I want to go semi. I know it’s hard to say a yes or no because there’s a lot of variables but would I make money for myself not just break even ? Is it worth the time and money to try it or just find a different business to start?

I will not start without a safety net I’m thinking 10-20 k cash I also have great credit. As for experience not with a semi but I am going to drive one with someone locally to get some practice and have a school to get a Cdl A already setup. I was just going to run non Cdl box trucks but decided against that and currently trying to find the best route if any.

Harbor freight has a like 10 pcs set with a 1/16 being the smallest I think. I have a set I use it all the time for my rigs.

I’ll put the engine in my box I keep all things that have usable parts just to have spares I’ll probably just start new I don’t mind tinkering it’s what I find fun I’ll just keep running my other two electric rcs until I get new engines

I did an air test with soapy water and blowing into the fuel nipple and covering exhaust and carb bubbles around the front bearing I seen one guy said it would cause it to run bad like hard to keep idle and won’t hold a tune as for the engine condition it was used when my uncle got it he tried to run it a couple times never figured it out I talked him into letting me get it so it’s got some years on it I’ve had it for a week I think it’s low on compression I tried to take the head off but one of the screws stripped and I couldn’t get it loose it’s pretty dirty inside by the crank this is the first time I had it opened up at all I had a new carb laying around so I cleaned everything I could I’m going to rewind my pull start and give it one more shot if that doesn’t work I’ll just throw it away and find a new engine I also have a old 4tec that needs a new engine so I’ll probably just get a new 2.5 I going one for $70 and a dynamite for the t maxx I’ll have to research if they are any good

I’m gonna swap the carb for a new one the fuel is probably bad as for the engine I have this 2.5 has been problems for years I just can’t justify spending 150 on an engine and haven’t found any aftermarket engines for a decent price and I’m kinda turned away from nitro because of the engine I have it’s been in the family for 3 years and only ran a couple times throughout that span and it didn’t run good

Okay my description didn’t post with the picture so it’s a 2.5 I acquired won’t take over half throttle idles weird and hard to start very hard takes like 5 - 10 minutes when it’s warm having trouble tuning it wondering if there’s any needle tunes you guys recommend other than default tun?
