The Scorpion Mini has a brake function so that's not the problem. It's obvious the friction wheel is slipping. Have you tried more spring tension?
Have you looked at Pete's cog -drive setup? http://rctankcombat.com/tanks/T073/Page3.html The cog drive would give better engagement and possibly solve your momentum issue, but maybe not. That's one big turret you built and it has plenty of mass. If I was retro-fitting your tank I'd go with a bigger and faster motor, a smaller diameter drive wheel, and try Pete's cog-drive design.
