Default Torque twist

Recently I've put a full metal tranny in my scx10 (cbe rc fab switch ultra chassis) but it torque twists like mad, any way I can reduce the twist?

Was thinking, thicker shock fluid?

In the early days we used to put heavier oil and a harder spring on the rear twist side to limit but not totally eliminating the TT. Today running over drive or under drive gears does a much better job.

Thanks! So would you say if I'm twisting left on acceleration, that I should stiffen the rear left shock?

YOu're welcome, but UD rear or OD front would be a better solution and aids steering.
