Battle Racers Season 1 sale starts next week!
Only three days to go until the Battle Racers Season 1 launch! The sale will begin on Monday, December 3, 2019 10PM GMT+8 (9AM EST / 3PM CET)** on our website: battleracers.io.
An early bird discount of 15%** will be available on the first 48 hours courtesy of Matic Network. The sale ends on Friday, December 20, 2019 at 10PM GMT+8** (9AM EST / 3PM CET) OR until all the crates are sold.
What are we selling?
We’ll be selling a new edition of crates containing Season 1 exclusive car parts. Season 1 marks the first set of cars and parts NFTs made available after our initial item pre-sale last May. It features 52 new sets of cars (6 brands with 2 new models and 4 new colors each, plus some special hidden sets!), which can be mixed and matched to your heart’s content.
Similar to our Prime Edition crates, there will be four types: Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Wood, with a limited number of crates per type. Each crate contains up to four random parts belonging to cars that are exclusively for the item sale, and won’t ever be sold or dropped once the sale ends.
The parts range across our six car brands and three rarities (Common, Rare, and Epic). Parts also have a chance of getting the Elite tag, which has an increased upgrade ceiling. You have a 1.5% chance to get the Elite tag on your parts.
Last but not least, you can get an additional bonus part which is Legendary, on top of the part/s that come with your crate.
Once these parts are in your inventory, you will be able to build cars and race against other players in our Early Access build! You can also transfer these parts to the Ethereum main network for trading on the OpenSea marketplace.
What’s so special about these car parts? Why should I buy them now?
These car parts are special in every way! These are just a few of the reasons:
- They come from exclusive car designs. We’ll never print these parts again, ever
- They have the Season 1 Edition tag
- They are minted with a unique serial number when a crate is opened. The earlier you open a crate, the earlier the number
- You have a 1.5% chance to get the Elite tag on your parts, which raises a part’s level upgrade cap slightly
- You have a chance to get bonus Season 1 Legendary parts in your crates. Legendary parts have the highest rarity and the highest level upgrade cap.

Are there any exclusive items I need to watch out for?
This week we announced the latest addition to the Battle Racers fleet. We proudly present our new Epic car: the Guerilla Cyber!
Another car to watch out for is the Binance Bug! Players who unlock parts from this limited edition Rare car inspired by Binance, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, can look forward to some exclusive rewards.
The Vista brand gets its own special Rare car too. We’re big fans of DAOs such as MetaCartel, and their community continues to grow strong and blazing trails in the Ethereum space! Just like this new Vista Cartel.
An exclusive event with CryptoKitties, the world’s first blockchain game, is also coming soon, where you can purchase CryptoKitties crates or obtain them via the Battle Racers Kitty Trick. These crates will be containing parts from the limited edition RoboKitty! Check out our previous announcement here.
We are also working together with Japanese multiplayer RPG My Crypto Heroes. We’ll reveal more in a future announcement.
What do I need to participate?
You can purchase crates with fiat using your credit card, or cryptocurrency (Ethereum, or swap any of the 70+ tokens supported by KyberSwap to ETH). For cryptocurrency wallets, we currently support MetaMask on desktop, Enjin (our primary mobile wallet), and Trust (official cryptocurrency wallet of Binance).
If you are using your credit card, you will still need an Ethereum wallet address! Nifty Gateway only supports ERC721 tokens, and our crates are ERC20. That means you must send your crates to another wallet address that supports ERC20, otherwise you could lose your crates. Please do not skip this step! You can get any of the wallets we recommended above. Check out our step-by-step guide here.
Do you have a bounty or referral program?
Yes, we do! If you have an Ethereum wallet address and connect it to our website, you’ll get a unique referral link on the Season 1 Sale page. You can use that link to spread the word about the Battle Racers Season 1. If anyone uses your link to purchase crates, you’ll get 10% back straight into your account. (Referral bonus is in ETH only. There is NO referral bonus on credit card purchase.)
Meanwhile, we also have a crate giveaway for those who sign up for our Early Access before the cutoff date on December 20, and an ongoing bounty campaign rewarding the best community-created content with a grand total of 10 ETH. Click here for the full details.
