Hi Agyeman,

You need to set XAxis.AutoScale property to false and then you can customize the axis item labels like this:

<telerik:RadChart ID="RadChart1" runat="server" AutoLayout="True">
    <Series>
        <telerik:ChartSeries Name="Series 1" Type="Line">
            <Items>
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 1" YValue="5">
                </telerik:ChartSeriesItem>
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 2" YValue="1">
                </telerik:ChartSeriesItem>
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 3" YValue="2">
                </telerik:ChartSeriesItem>
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 4" YValue="9">
                </telerik:ChartSeriesItem>
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem Name="Item 5" YValue="5">
                </telerik:ChartSeriesItem>
            </Items>
        </telerik:ChartSeries>
    </Series>
    <PlotArea>
        <XAxis AutoScale="false" MinValue="1" MaxValue="5" Step="1">
            <Items>
                <telerik:ChartAxisItem Value="1">
                    <TextBlock Text="Custom1"></TextBlock>
                </telerik:ChartAxisItem>
                <telerik:ChartAxisItem Value="2">
                    <TextBlock Text="Custom2"></TextBlock>
                </telerik:ChartAxisItem>
                <telerik:ChartAxisItem Value="3">
                    <TextBlock Text="Custom3"></TextBlock>
                </telerik:ChartAxisItem>
                <telerik:ChartAxisItem Value="4">
                    <TextBlock Text="Custom4"></TextBlock>
                </telerik:ChartAxisItem>
                <telerik:ChartAxisItem Value="5">
                    <TextBlock Text="Custom5"></TextBlock>
                </telerik:ChartAxisItem>
            </Items>
        </XAxis>
    </PlotArea>
</telerik:RadChart>

Hope this helps.
