Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The sPOD BantamX Modular (SKU BXMOD84B) is the universal 8-circuit solid-state power management system with a Blue LED Carling Contura switch panel and 84-inch battery cables — for trucks, SUVs, UTVs, overland rigs, and custom builds where no vehicle-specific BantamX kit exists for the platform. Aluminum formed and welded panel housing with IP66/68-rated Carling Contura switches, dual-lit per switch, pilot push button, daisy-chainable. Single CAT-6 cable between module and panel. No wires cut, no factory circuits tapped. Operates on 12V or 24V DC. Expandable to 32 circuits. Blue LED — high-contrast visibility for daily drivers and mixed-use builds.

BantamX Modular vs. BantamX HD Kit — Choose Your Panel Format
| Kit | Panel Format | Switch Type | IP Rating | Color Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BantamX Modular — BXMOD84B (this listing) | Carling Contura — aluminum formed/welded | LED rocker switches — dual-lit | IP66/68 | Red, Green, Blue, Amber |
| BantamX HD Kit — BXTSBUNI84 | HD silicone-button panel | Silicone buttons — RGB backlit | All-weather | RGB (any color) |
Same BantamX module, same 8 circuits, same expandability. Carling Modular: traditional rocker switches with LED color options and IP66/68 rating. HD Kit: modern silicone buttons with RGB backlight.
BantamX Modular Color Options — 84-Inch Cable
| SKU | LED Color | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| BXMOD84B (this listing) | Blue | High-contrast visibility — daily drivers and mixed-use builds |
| BXMOD84G | Green | All-around visibility — best switch-state readability across all lighting conditions |
| BXMOD84R | Red | Maximum night vision preservation — dedicated dark trail builds |
| BXMOD84A | Amber | Night vision-friendly, warm spectrum — trail and mixed-use builds |
84-Inch vs. 36-Inch — Choose Before Ordering
| Cable Length | SKU | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 84 inches — BXMOD84B (this listing) | Module mounting more than 3 feet from battery — full-size trucks, van builds, overland rigs | |
| 36 inches — BXMOD36B | Module mounting within 3 feet of battery — UTV engine bays, compact setups |
Kit Contents
- sPOD BantamX solid-state module (8-circuit, expandable)
- Blue LED Carling Contura aluminum switch panel (IP66/68)

Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Builds requiring more than 8 circuits | BantamX expandable to 32 via add-on units — order BXUNI84ADD or BXUNI36ADD |
| Module mounting within 3 feet of battery | Order BXMOD36B (36-inch cables) for cleaner installation |
| sPOD SourceLT systems | SourceLT is a separate 6-circuit system. Not compatible with BantamX expansion. |
| Winches and high-draw recovery motors | 30A max per circuit. Wire winches direct to battery through a dedicated relay. |
| Any accessory requiring more than 30A per circuit | 30A hard ceiling per circuit. High-draw devices require direct battery wiring outside this system. |
| High-amp solenoids on the same battery post | Isolate the BantamX battery connection from any high-amp relay or solenoid. |
Common Questions
Blue vs. Green for a daily driver or mixed-use build? Both are strong choices for regular street use. Blue provides high-contrast visibility against dark interior panels and matches factory blue ambient lighting in many modern vehicles. Green offers slightly better readability across a wider range of lighting conditions due to peak eye sensitivity at that wavelength. For dedicated night trail use where preserving dark adaptation matters, Amber or Red are the better choices. Blue and Green both cause more pupil contraction than warm-spectrum colors in low-light environments.
What is the difference between BantamX Modular and the BantamX HD Kit? Panel format only. The Modular uses IP66/68-rated Carling Contura rocker switches in a welded aluminum housing with LED color options. The HD Kit uses modern silicone buttons in a billet aluminum housing with RGB backlight. Same BantamX module, same 8 circuits, same expandability.
Can I daisy-chain a second panel for rear-of-truck control? Yes. The Carling panel is daisy-chainable — run one panel in the cab and one at the rear of the truck, both controlling the same BantamX circuits via panel-to-panel Ethernet connection.
Can I expand beyond 8 circuits? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports and is expandable to 32 channels via BantamX add-on modules.
Why 84-inch cables instead of 36-inch? 84-inch cables give 7 feet of routing flexibility from the battery to the module. If the module mounts within 3 feet of the battery, order BXMOD36B for cleaner cable management.
The Obsidian Take
The BantamX Modular (BXMOD84B) is for the builder who wants 8 circuits of clean, fuse-free accessory power with IP66/68-rated Blue LED Carling Contura rocker switches — high-contrast visibility for a build that sees regular street use alongside trail time, 84 inches of battery cable reach, expandable to 32 circuits.
If the build primarily runs dark trails at night, Red or Amber is the better LED choice. If it splits time between road and trail with regular street driving, Blue is the right call.
