The subject of this article or section is part of Feast of Winter Veil, a seasonal event that lasts several weeks. Once the event has run its course, this will no longer be available until next year, but there are no guarantees.
- Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller
- Binds when picked up
- Toy
- Use: Adds this toy to your Toy Box.
Summon and control your Crashin' Thrashin' Racer. - Sell Price: 10
This item spawns a Crashin' Thrashin' Racer which you can drive around and crash in other Crashin' Thrashin' Racers. The Crashin' Thrashin' Racer looks like a Goblin Rocket on wheels. It works similar to the tanks from Darkmoon faire.
Source
It can be looted from the 
[Stolen Present], which is a reward from 
[30-70G Daily] You're a Mean One.... Acquiring it in this fashion will not award the Feat of Strength [Crashin' Thrashin' Racer] (in contrast to the 
[Clockwork Rocket Bot], which will award its original Feat of Strength when acquired in 2011).
Prior to 2011, characters level 10 and above could loot this item from a Winter Veil Gift under the tree in either Ironforge or Orgrimmar.
Controls
- You can drive your Crashin' Thrashin' Racer with the mouse or from the same keys you move your character.
- The only way to back up is the s key.
- You can also jump the Crashin' Thrashin' Racer with the space bar.
- The 1 key is your combat key;
- it makes your car charge forward, and
- it crashes another Crashin' Thrashin' Racer if there is one in its path.
Notes
- If you didn't loot your [Clockwork Rocket Bot] robot pet from the gift box in 2007, it is now replaced with this Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller which is the new present in 2008. You will have two Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controllers (assuming you pick up the 2008 gift) but no ability to get the robot. A second controller is useless, you can only spawn one Racer at a time.
A commenter on WoWHead claims that a Blizzard GM told him that this gift slot would change yearly, and that the Racer is only available in 2008. (see external links section) - Patch 3.3.3 introduced
[Blue Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller], a recolored copy of this racer, including its functions. Blue racers can crash into the original ones, and the other way around. - WARNING! Be careful when using your toy around bosses! It WILL aggro the boss!
Achievements
- Feat of Strength [Crashin' Thrashin' Racer] - Proud owner of the 2008 Vintage Winter Veil gift, the Crashin' Thrashin' Racer.
- [Crashin' & Thrashin'] - Gain 25 crashes with your Crashin' Thrashin' Racer during the Feast of Winter Veil.
- These crashes do not have to be all at once. They accumulate as you re-spawn your Racer.
- You can only do this achievement during the Feast of Winter Veil. However, the year does not matter, so it can be completed during any iteration of the event.

Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): Added to the Toy Box.
