I like everything about it, but the front wheel looks a little high. Why is that?

Re: tamiya 360 spider

as SpoonMan Dos said, what's wrong with the front wheel ?

Re: tamiya 360 spider

looks nice. I see a little bit of positive camber in the front wheel..i think thats why it looks high.

overall nice 9.8/10

rx7king - nice build! I like the paintjob.
I think thats the way it came from the box, the front end is high off the ground because of the underbody panel (my assumption) - thats one of the reason why I added a bodykit on mine.

Re: tamiya 360 spider

yeh, i was getting angry connecting the chassis to the body, it seemed like i was taking 2 steps forward, and one step back, i kept breaking parts...like the head lights and suspension, so i got it on the best i could, and left it

Love the color, and I too hate the body colored head lights, I like your choice of colors for the headlights.

Re: tamiya 360 spider

The color looks sweet. Very nice build.

It kind of looks like the chassis in the rear is where you are having the problems. The chassis is not supposed to fit inside the rear bumper like on other Tamiya cars. There is a lip that extends past the bumper below where the license plate is in the rear.

Placing the body on top of this lip and moving the chassis backwards should line the front up properly and make a world of difference. I hope this helps.

I just finished a 360 too, here is a pic of the back to show the lip I'm talking about.
