OK, that symptom sounds familiar. When I first got my MM ESC, I wanted to test it out and set up some basic programming. So, I put in a receiver pack into the RX and plugged in the MM controller cable
without removing the red wire and
no main battery pack. As soon as I did this, I heard arming tones from the motor! And, like you, it didn't matter what position the switch was in.
All I did was remove the rx pack and it worked fine. It also worked fine if I used the rx pack but removed the red wire in the throttle cable. This sounds A LOT like what you are seeing, but I didn't blow the ESC or receiver.
What might be happening is the ESC is pulling power to arm the motor through the throttle cable. It would then make sense that this would blow receivers because the PCB traces aren't designed to handle that kind of current.
