Ah, Paul beat me to it But I have to agree, it doesn't look very good. -
You've broken those old-style red driving rings? Must have been a lot of torque involved then.

He's damn cute. How old is he? -
I've got some chrome rims, I can take a picture of the car using them if you like.
-
The vast majority of parts used is (very) common, this was done on purpose by Nathanaël. Only the wheel covers are rare.
-
Looks like the same old linear actuator to me, and that's indeed the new turntable.
-
Great design Sariel, thanks for the instructions!
-
I don't think the links with stoppers would work well in this case, so yeah, stick to the ones without stoppers.

Why hasn't this been submitted to Rebrickable yet, Sariel? I'm waiting but it's not showing up in the MOC queue. Can't you see that people are going crazy ofur it? -
It's up on Rebrickable now: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/nathanael/predator-supercar Enjoy! Any self-respecting Technic fan should build this IMO
-
Damn, 15$ is really, really cheap for such a masterpiece. P.S.: Paul, the picture on your frontpage of the Predator links to the Phantasm model instead
-
Ah yes, I've double-checked the instructions. I indeed mounted them backwards

Now you have to take it apart and build a B model! -
Ah, now I see what you mean. No, they are both angled in the same direction, only the right one (seen from the rear) slightly points up because I bumped into it.
-
Yeah, I noticed that as well, I must have bumped the rear spoiler when setting it up to take a (shitty) picture with my iPad. I really need to buy a decent camera plus a lightbox.
-
Finished (click for full size): Apologies for poor picture quality :) Like I said though, pictures don't do it justice! Is it weird to be in love with a MOC?

Damn you, now I want a pet hamster. -
I also don't have a proper camera at the moment unfortunately Also kind of hesitant to tear the model down It's such a beauty.
-
It definitely is, IMO. Like I said above, the bar for supercar MOCs has been raised spectacularly.
-
8880 is downright primitive compared to this marvel of engineering
-
Very soon now, keep an eye on Rebrickable
-
I've almost finished building this beauty, and I can already say that this is easily the best MOC I've ever built (and I've built a lot!). The car itself obviously looks amazing (the pictures don't do it justice, you have to see it in 'real life'), but more importantly the quality of its design is unbelievable. The only one to even slightly come close to achieving this level of perfection in design is Madoca, IMO. Not a single part is needlessly used, every feature is stunningly implemented (especially the gearbox and front axle are technical marvels to behold), there are plenty of novel and very clever tricks used, and it's simply all-in-all an absolute joy to build. A must-build for every Technic fan. The bar for supercar MOCs, or even Technic MOCs in general, has been raised spectacularly! P.S.: If TLG ever started a Technic UCS series, this car should be the first one in it. Brilliant work by Nathanaël, truly. Major kudos.

Hah, good job! Put that bad boy to work! You're forgetting to use smileys again
-
Rarest parts I own are 19L flex axles in black. Kind of scared to use them because they're worth so much Other than that I have a lot of parts in rare colors, like orange bushes, or green and tan 9L liftarms.
-
These are the same renders used in TLG's official instructions I think. Hence the same black/DBG confusion may arise.
