Default Electronic drift stabilizers?

One of my vehicles stubbornly refuses to stop oversteering and spinning-out in corners, and it's a mini so my tire selection is basically nonexistent. I don't mind if it slides around, I just want it to finish the turn and continue traveling forwards. I'm thinking of trying a drift stabilizer unit, inserted between the receiver and the steering servo, to catch and correct oversteer faster than I can. But before I spend money on a drift stabilizer, I want to confirm: Do drift stabilizers actually do what I think they do? I just want to be able to turn the steering wheel and have the vehicle do its best to turn however sharply I tell it to, without spinning around backwards.

Also, if they do what I think they do, can anyone recommend a good unit to use? The only one I know about is the one sold by HPI. I guess there's the AVC receiver sold by Spektrum too, but since this vehicle is RWD and the AVC receiver is designed for AWD vehicles, I'm not sure AVC's built-in throttle control would help or just make the problem worse.
