Have you considered the possibility of using a remote brake? What I suggest might be a gear on the motor shaft meshing with another gear to the side of the motor - this gear to be on a shaft having a normal type of electrical brake. Alternatively use toothed belt pulleys and a belt instead of gears - it would probably only need a 3mm wide belt and the braking shaft could then be anywhere convenient.
