So does this mean that, if I'm using an Electronize controller for example (without any built-in failsafes), I can just connect it straight to the receiver and the robot will stop moving when the transmitter is turned off, or would I need to fit an external failsafe between the ESC and RX?
Yes , any failsafe built in to the esc are only really helpfull on 40 mhz systems. With the planet 5 set at least esc's without failsafes seem to failsafe ok .
