Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The sPOD BantamX Modular (SKU BXMOD84R) is the universal 8-circuit solid-state power management system with a Red 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 for remote panel operation. The BantamX module and Carling panel mount wherever the build requires. Single CAT-6 cable between both. No wires cut, no factory circuits tapped. Operates on 12V or 24V DC. Expandable to 32 circuits. Red LED — maximum night vision preservation for dedicated trail and off-road builds.

BantamX Modular vs. BantamX HD Kit — Choose Your Panel Format
| Kit | Panel Format | Switch Type | IP Rating | Color Options | Circuits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BantamX Modular — BXMOD84R/G/B/A (this listing) | Carling Contura — aluminum formed/welded | LED rocker switches — dual-lit | IP66/68 | Red, Green, Blue, Amber | 8 |
| BantamX HD Kit — BXTSBUNI84/36 | HD silicone-button panel | Silicone buttons — RGB backlit | All-weather | RGB (any color) | 8 |
Same BantamX module, same 8 circuits, same expandability. Panel format and switch type are the only differences. Carling Modular: traditional rocker switches, IP66/68 rated, LED color options for night vision. HD Kit: modern silicone buttons, RGB backlit, operable by feel.
BantamX Modular Color Options — 84-Inch Cable
| SKU | LED Color | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| BXMOD84R (this listing) | Red | Maximum night vision preservation — dedicated dark trail builds |
| BXMOD84G | Green | All-around visibility — best switch-state readability across all lighting conditions |
| BXMOD84B | Blue | High-contrast visibility — daily drivers and mixed-use 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 — BXMOD84R (this listing) | Module mounting more than 3 feet from battery — full-size trucks, van builds, overland rigs | |
| 36 inches — BXMOD36R | Module mounting within 3 feet of battery — UTV engine bays, compact setups |

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 BXMOD36R (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
What is the difference between BantamX Modular and the BantamX HD Kit? Panel format only. The Modular uses Carling Contura rocker switches in an aluminum formed and welded housing — IP66/68 rated, traditional LED illumination, available in specific colors for night vision. The HD Kit uses the modern silicone-button panel with RGB backlight — any color, operable by feel, compact billet aluminum housing. The BantamX module, circuits, MOSFET technology, expandability, and Bluetooth are identical.
Why Red LED for a trail build? Red sits at the far end of the visible spectrum and causes the least pupil contraction — your eyes stay dark-adapted when you look away from the panel. The Carling Contura switches are rated IP66/68 for harsh environments. For a dedicated off-road or trail build running dark routes at night, the BantamX Modular Red is the right combination of panel durability and night vision preservation.
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. Up to 4 BantamX units can be daisy-chained.
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 BXMOD36R for cleaner cable management.
The Obsidian Take
The BantamX Modular (BXMOD84R) is for the builder who wants 8 circuits of clean, fuse-free accessory power with IP66/68-rated Carling Contura rocker switches in a welded aluminum panel — Red LED for maximum night vision preservation, 84 inches of battery cable reach, expandable to 32 circuits. Same BantamX module as every other 8-circuit system, with the durability and LED color specificity of the Carling panel format.
If silicone buttons with RGB backlight are the right interface, order a BantamX HD Kit instead. If Carling rockers with a specific LED color for night vision are the right call, this is your kit.
