Goblin V2-003: Back From Powder Coat in Washed Red

V2-003

Written by Adam Doyle on Jun 19, 2026

V2-003 is back from powder coat, finished in Prismatic Powder's Washed Red. It sits somewhere between red and orange, with less vibrancy than you'd get from a standard red or orange.

This chassis is built with the full cage, including the main hoop X brace and the rear cage X brace. It's set up with the standard door bar configuration, which puts two horizontal tubes at about elbow height for a balance of protection and ease of getting in and out.
