"A Direct Answer to Your Question...
Doesn't matter which you choose both will be very twitchy and prone to spinning compared to your 1:10th.."

The wheelbase is proportional to the amount of time it takes of the rotation to occur. When anyone says "they are too twitchy or 1:10 is better" what they are saying is that they are not that good at driving, let alone drifting and that they cannot control a car that everything happens very fast in.

It takes a practice like anything worthwhile.
