Default fish tailing

i'm new to drifting, as well as rc in general. i bought a tt-01 and put some abs tires on it. .. and i've come to realize that this is a bit trickier than it looks it was, at first, like running on ice. i was mostly just spinning, not really drifting. after some practice i was getting the car to drift nicely, but keeping control of the car after comming out of a corner is still escaping me. the majority of the time it was fishtail back and forth and spin out. i've tried letting off the throttle completely, as well as tapping it. releasing the stearing knob and giving it a touch of throttle seemed to work a little better, but nothing has worked consistently so far. Obviously i need some more practice but i was wondering if anyone had suggestions or pointers to push me in the right direction. My car is all stock except for an aluminum drive shaft and the abs tires.

oh and for any other newbies out there, here's what happens when you bake your abs tires too long My 2nd attempt worked much better...
