how to change controls on Spektrum DX6i?

Your putting more thought in to this and making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Yes the R/C switch is overkill but it will take up less space than your servo and switch and is a whole lot easier to mount.

I do agree switching the out put of an ESC would be a less expensive way but now you will need a separate switch from the others and the switch has to carry the load.

Yes there are cheap radios and servos out there but you get what you pay for. A DX6 is a good radio to use and it is less money than upgrading to a bigger radio while getting a full 8ch's of proportional control with the solutions we have discussed.
