I recently made an octocopter and when i turn off the radio and disconnect the receiver the motors progressively runs up to full speed instead of staying off. I habe disabled the fail safe on the throttle and so i dont understand why my pixhawk flight controller is making the motors spin up to full speed.

Do you have a log? That would be helpful!

Which failsafe action did you set for RC loss and which flight mode were you in?
