Tighten the adjusting knob for the brake tension. Pump the trigger for the brake, and you'll see it move. It's part of the throttle servo arm. If you still want more brake, replace the spring with a length of fuel line and adjust it to your liking.

It sounds like you're going from too loose, to too tight. You need to find the spot where full brake will give you maximum stopping power, and neutral will not apply any brake at all. Don't expect to be able to lock them, only enough brake to slow it quickly.
