Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The sPOD BantamX Non-Switch Panel Kit (SKU 870114) is the universal 8-circuit solid-state BantamX power module with 36-inch battery cables — no switch panel included. Designed for builders who already have a compatible sPOD switch panel, are running app-based wireless control, or are building a custom electrical system where the module and control interface need to be specified separately. Eight circuits at 30A each, expandable to 32 channels. Operates on 12V or 24V DC.
Switch panel is NOT included. This is the BantamX module and 36-inch cables only. If you need a complete kit with a switch panel, order the BantamX HD universal kit or a vehicle-specific BantamX kit instead.

When to Order This SKU vs. a Complete Kit
| Situation | Right Choice |
|---|---|
| Already have a compatible sPOD switch panel | 870114 — module only |
| Running app-based wireless control only | 870114 — module only |
| Custom build where panel location is determined separately | 870114 — module only |
| Need a complete kit with HD switch panel included | Order BantamX HD universal kit instead |
| Need a vehicle-specific mounting solution | Order the vehicle-specific BantamX kit for your platform |
| Expanding an existing sPOD system with a second module | 870114 — pairs with existing controller port |
36-Inch vs. 84-Inch Cable — Choosing the Right Length
| Cable Length | Best For |
|---|---|
| 36 inches (this kit — 870114) | UTV engine bays, compact mounting locations, module positioned close to battery — less than 3 feet of battery cable routing required |
| 84 inches | Full-size trucks, Jeeps, and builds where the module mounts away from the battery — up to 7 feet of routing required |
Measure your cable routing path from the battery to the planned module location before ordering. If your routing path exceeds 3 feet, order the 84-inch cable version instead.
Compatible sPOD Switch Panels and Control Interfaces
| Interface | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| sPOD HD switch panel | Physical — 8 switches, RGB backlit | Connects via RJ45 CAT-6 cable |
| sPOD Mini6 switch panel | Physical — 6 switches | Connects via RJ45 CAT-6 cable |
| sPOD BantamX touchscreen | Touchscreen | Connects via RJ45 CAT-6 cable |
| sPOD Mobile App (iOS/Android) | Bluetooth app — wireless | Built-in Bluetooth — no cable required |
The BantamX module has 2 RJ45 controller ports — it can run two switch panels simultaneously or one panel plus one app controller.
Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Non-sPOD switch panels | Not confirmed — the BantamX module is designed for the sPOD CAT-6 controller interface. Third-party switch panels are not compatible. |
| Winches and high-draw recovery motors | 30A max per circuit. Winches draw 250–400A under load. 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 or brake controllers on the same battery post | As with all BantamX installations — high-amp solenoids or relay coils on the same positive battery post will damage the module. Isolate the BantamX battery connection from any high-amp relay or solenoid. |
Common Questions
Does this kit work as a standalone wireless controller right out of the box? Yes — with the sPOD app. The BantamX module has built-in Bluetooth and is fully functional with the free sPOD app as the sole control interface. Download the app, pair, label your circuits, and control all 8 from your phone. If you want physical switches later, add a compatible sPOD switch panel and connect it via the RJ45 port.
My build needs more than 8 circuits. Can I expand this module? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports and is expandable to 32 channels. Up to 4 BantamX units can be daisy-chained. Order an additional BantamX module and connect via the second controller port when ready to expand.
Why 36-inch cables instead of 84-inch? 36-inch cables are the right choice when the module mounts close to the battery — most UTV engine bays, compact overland setups, and short routing paths. If your module location is more than 3 feet from the battery, order the 84-inch cable version to avoid a splice or extension.
Can I run two different switch panels on the same BantamX module? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports — you can run two physical switch panels simultaneously, or one panel plus app-based Bluetooth control, from a single module.
What mounting hardware is included? None specific — this is a universal module with no vehicle-specific bracket. Mount using the 1/4-20 threaded studs on the module housing to suit your build's available mounting surface. Use the 90-degree bracket (910275) or flat bracket (910330) if needed.
The Obsidian Take
The BantamX Non-Switch Panel Kit (870114) is for the builder who knows exactly what control interface they are running and does not want to pay for a switch panel they already have or do not need. Module only, 36-inch cables, full BantamX capability — app control out of the box, expandable to 32 channels, compatible with any sPOD switch panel via the RJ45 port.
The one thing to confirm before ordering is cable length. Measure the routing path from your battery to your planned module location. If it is more than 3 feet, order the 84-inch cable version. If it is under 3 feet, the 36-inch kit is the right call.
Non-Returnable Notice: Electrical systems that have been powered and connected to a vehicle are non-returnable. Inspect the kit and confirm fitment before connecting to the battery.
