Check out Serpent's website www.mytsn.com.. Search for the article from Glenn Cauley, he provides a very nice step by step (tips and tricks) build up for the 960, which is very detailed.
Take your time building, getting it "right" is more important than getting it "done".

A Kyosho or Mugen nut should do the trick!
Another thing, with the usage of lighter flyweights they produce less pressure on the plate which holds the shoe, which can cause premature wear of the clutch shoe.
A very successful clutch setup that we use here without having to use equipment from other manufacturers goes as follows:
Yellow (Brown) Clutch Shoe
T3 Flyweights with 3x3mm setscrews in the 2nd hole
SPP Centax plate
Serpent 1.8 spring (long)
Clutch Gap ~.5
Clutch Endplay ~.7
As far as the nut goes, adjust it according to the traction that is available at your local track!
Good luck!

low/ no traction on the rear
Hi guys,
need some advice on car setup on the rear...
i'm having problem with the rear traction, the car seems like wheel spin powering out of corner, sometime even when straight... is it possible due to too light rear??
I'm using the option ceramic, light WOS wheel shaft and 710 alu pilow ball on all 6....
rear toe 3.5, camber 3.5, shock oil and spring std. tire 67F/74R 35shore thanks
