torque twist axial help

Quick (cheap) fix: Thicker oil or a piston head with less holes in the left rear shock with a heavier spring will take that away, but leave you with inconsistent suspension.
Better fix: Someone makes a skid plate for the AX10 that moves the inboard ends of the lower links into the center line of the chassis. I think it's East End Machine, but I might be wrong. I have found the extra triangulation of the lower links stops (or reduces) that twist.
Disclaimer: I have not tried that on an Axial myself, but the chassis I used to crawl on (the Norwegian Midgard Pro Rock) put a lot of spread angle on the lower links and I have never had twist up when using those chassis. The Axial has virtually parallel lowers and I have seen them tie them selves in knots so I'm putting 1 and 1 together here.

Hey, Booher. Welcome to RCC...hope you are enjoying the forum and learning lots, so far.
Torque Twist is one of those things that plagues many shaft-driven crawlers. As such, it is asked about all the time - this means there's more information about TT than you'd ever want to know! Simply reading back through the pages in the General Section (or the appropriate Axial section) will be helpful. Searching and Advanced Searching is good too.
Start with this most recent thread (near the top of the General Crawlers section). It's one of the shorter discussions about TT. In that thread there are a few references to other RCC threads about TT - read those, too. If that's not enough, try Advanced Searching "Torque Twist" while selecting Thread Titles Only...
