Overview
The Troodon V2 Printer is supplied with a firmware and firmware files that, rather than have the supplied mainboard natively configured, use a different firmware profile and override the pins configured using board.txt. There is nothing wrong with the approach Formbot have taken and the firmware can be updated without issue. However, in the future, changes may be made to the firmware profile its using that may cause issues. TeamGloomy therefore recommend making some changes to your board.txt to prevent any issues going forwards.
Default board.txt file
For reference, here is the default board.txt file that is supplied with the printer.
//Note: Each line should be less than 120 characters.
// : Unwanted options can be commented out or set to NoPin. Lines commented out will get default values
// : for pins the default is NoPin.
// : Values for Arrays need to be contained within { and }
// : Comments can be defined with // or # (comments are not supported inside arrays)
// : Each config entry must be all on a single line.
board = biqoctopuspro_1.0;
//LED blinks to indicate Platform is spinning or other diagnostic
//Comment out or set to NoPin if not wanted.

Config.g Changes
Switching to native firmware support also allows you adjust the pin assignments used in config.g from using a pin number to using an alias. For example
M574 X1 S1 P"PF_2"
would become
M574 X1 S1 P"xstop"
This is not a critical change, it just makes config.g easier to read.
