Re: Spike Placement?

For spikes there isn't any minimum distance other than enough so you don't short your connectors. For Victors and Jaguars, however, you do want to space them out a little. The difference here is heat. Victors and Jaguars generate fairly significant amounts of heat, thus the muffin fans integral to both of them. They require some amount of space to allow the fans to work. Since Spikes don't really generate much heat, they don't have fans and don't require any space in order to properly dissipate heat.
