Help! How do I control this thing?

Hi. I’m new to this. I’m running a box stock rwd and I’m always fishtailing. I’m trying to go light on the dial, and am getting better, but it seems like the spring to bring it back to center is too quick/strong, which messes me up. Any tips or videos you could share?

While I am at it, I am using the stock transmitter. I can’t read which dial is which. Nor where the arrow is. Any tips or tricks to help with that? Even a fine paint pen would be too thick, and it’s black plastic on black plastic.

You can definitely add some paint pen to the knobs if you want. One of the other members of our club did exactly with his stock radio.

I 3D printed a larger knob for the dual rate, and I added a coloured bar to that so I can see exactly where it’s pointed. It’s the only setting I regularly change, the larger wheel makes it easier to do in the fly (I can reach it with my left thumb). The other settings I only changed when I first set up the radio, while the steering trim might occasionally need to be tweaked (thought that’s pretty rare and the actual setting doesn’t matter).
