Looking for some wiring advice

I am wiring up our power panel with the RC controller, spikes, and victors and have a few questions:

1. What guage wire is recommended to tie the heavy duty fuse block to the victors? These have 40 A fuses so I am guessing (10 or 12 awg?)

2. What about the fan motors on the victors? I am assuming these are12v- where do most people connect the fans to for power, (fuse panel for always on or something else)?

3. I am using 14 AWG between the fuse block and the spikes, is this the correct guage to use for this?

4. I got one small bag of quick connect push on terminal with our kit but these don't seem to be enough. Is ther ea problem with using any push on lug or do they have to be from the same mfg. that provided the ones in the kit?

5. Does anyone have a recommendation of which RC module output should control which spike or victor based upn the default code?

Thanks in advance.
