If you turn harder one direction than the other, center the servo as per the numerous available instructions.

Mine did too, till I centered the servo. Might also be due to damage to the steering knuckle, suspension, tirerods, a number of things.

Default driftn REEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDD!...wait, what?

just use the stock motors and gears, with rear wheel drive, and soft suspension in rear, and hard suspension on front. Use the hard treaded tires in rear and the soft slicks in front.

Default batt upgrade

personally the stock batteries suck. li-ions are the way. they supply the needed power to break the tires loose and yes the AWD is the way to go

If you're gonna drift with RWD, you'll still need tape on all four tires. The drift kit sounds good, but I think it's a little expensive for what it is. AWD is great for drifting, but if you really want to learn, go with RWD.
