Default Looking for brakes?

I have tried many brakes, from gleeson, trim and behotec, and still have not found a set of brake that real stop my plane. I see people in jet rally's and there plane stop good, is it because I lub up to much the hub or what? Is the a real set of brake, like the caliper on a car out there? Any help please. I'm using a Jetcat brake valve with 100 psi.

I'm looking for 3" main, and I would to stop on a dime, but ten feet is OK. On my Behotec, I'm using SuperLube on the rubber.

I'm using SuperLube on the rubber.
There's the issue.... NEVER.... NEVER use anything but a O-ring lubricant and when you do, use it as sparingly as possible. less than a BB sized amount of lube and wipe off as much of it as you can with you finger. Clean the bands and hub with denatured alcohol and lube with Parker O-Ring lube or similar.
