Default Engine Torque

Just have an "engine torque" question. I'm in the process of builing a .60-.90 size Top Flite Corsair and noticed the firewall is angled to allow for engine torque. However, on my .60 size ARF's and .40 size planes there is no angle in the firewall. Why is this? Is there only a need for the angled firewall on planes with larger engines? The natural torque (pull) of an engine is to the right...correct?
Thanks,
Pat
