Rule #1 in the R/C world is to turn the radio on first, and off last, every time. Funny thing is though I swear the MMM has a built in failsafe of sorts anyway- if I turn the tx off and leave the batts plugged in & esc turned on, the esc leds go to a different color, to indictate 'no signal' and returned the throttle to neutral.

So, switch not required in that sense....

With no signal the esc flashes all three leds and beeps really fast.. or you can just get a dsm receiver which has a failsafe built in. works like a charm
