I would think torque would have to be opposite the twist.

"The torque problem comes from Newton's basic law of motion which states that "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Therefore, if a helicopter's engine spins the main rotor in one direction, the helicopter body wants to spin in the opposite direction.
