Yes, that looks fine to me. I'm sure diodes must exist for the voltage and current rating you'll need in a Heavyweight.

This is a neater method that requires no diodes. Also allows the use of smaller limit switches as they don't carry the motor current.

I don't recognise that circuit symbol - the resistor with the dotted line and the switch. Is it a transistor of some kind, and F and R lead into the gates?
-Edit- Never mind, that doesn't make sense. I don't know what it is.

It's a relay :P the 'resistor' is the relay coil, and the dotted line shows which contacts the coil is connected to
Ohh of course! My bad, I'm used to the coil part looking more rounded.
Thanks Rory,
So no need for an ESC? connections from the RX would be:
RX ch a - servo sw - F forward - limit sw 1 - relay coil 1
RX ch b - servo sw - R reverse - limit sw 2 - relay coil 2 ?
