Can anybody recommend a fail safe switch for my boat?

If you have a half decent radio it should have a failsafe built in so if the signal is lost for any reason the boat will just cut out.

I have a rtr MG stock. I don't think it has that feature on this remote.

Test it. Run the boat for a split second on the bench and turn the transmitter off. The boat should cut out. It's a spektrum radio so I would have thought it has a failsafe.

It's not the radio but tx that does the failsafe, and the MR series does have a fail safe for sure.
How else would the fail safe work if it came from the transmitter when it has lost contact?
Fail safe position is whatever position things are in when it's bound.
