actually i'm sorry to inform you i was blowing smoke. the gws esc won't power off by opening the red servo wire. i was thinking about a setup i had on some of my other projects, where bec power to the rx was disabled using the red esc servo wire. you will in fact need a high current switch to turn off from the battery wires. again, sorry for the misinformation.[

if you can't find a light enough switch at ratshack, i'd just go with a jst or micro deans plug.
