Three Goblin kits left the shop today. V1-553 is headed to Ohio, V2-002 is going to a returning V1 builder in South Carolina, and V2-004 is bound for a father and son in Kentucky. All three first stage kits.
Quick V2 status update from the shop. We've successfully deleted the immobilizers in the donor ECU and TCU using a Macchina A0 and an Android phone. Big thanks to AaronC7 for making it happen.
Here's a first look at the Goblin V2 Running Stage packing list, using V2-002 as the example. Builders familiar with V1 Stage 1 will recognize most of it, with a handful of meaningful upgrades.
V2-002 came back from the coater in gloss black. It pairs full containment door bars with two of the new cage options: the main hoop X-brace and the rear cage X-brace.
The first mockup of the full containment door bars is on the chassis. They offer the most side intrusion protection of any door bar option we've designed for the Goblin, with some real tradeoffs to talk through.
