This is a fairly easy fix..

If you go inside the actor and click on the actors attributes..

Click and open the Motion Menu - enter in a value to your max speed (i.e. 80 or 150, something like that.) and make sure Apply Max Speed is ticked.

Then click and open the Physics Menu - by default your friction value should be 3 you can adjust that up and down which will help give you a nice sliding stop.
The quicker you would like the actor to slow down the higher you make the number.

Let me know if that helps

Cheers, Dan
