Dynamic Braking with resistor

Hi, has anyone used a resistor to help brake the motors through the VESC? 

My plan was to wire the resistors in parallel with the power supply and use an electronically controlled transfer switch to switch over to the resistors and use the regen braking function.

Here is a simplified diagram of what I am trying to do.

Will the VESC power off when I switch off of the power supply? That is my biggest concern.
