best way to stop your motor is to jab your finger onto the flywheel from under the chassis slot when its at idle and you wont hurt yourself unless the driver revs it as you do this
this is the quickest stop
and the cheapest

Although It can be stopped that way - I generally discourage it, as most people lose a couple layers of skin on the first shot.

get a tuning screw driver with a small ruberized handle, use this for tune up your motor and the soft ruberized end to bump the flywheel to a stop if your worries for your little finger!

a motor at idle is very easily stopped by a quick touch of the flywheel by finger anyway as long as they dont do as itchy b says and decide to do the old rev trick at the wrong time!
