Default lipo receiver pack in 12th scale

I know this is not a normal topic but I need some wiring help. I have a 12th scale car that I am running an LRP sphere, futaba R603FS receiver, novak 6amp BEC, and a Team Losi 7.4v lipo pack from a micro-t. I have been using 2 on/off switches and would like to eliminate one of them.

So I did some testing and I run into the issue that the ESC is pulling power from the reciever pack if the 4-cell pack is not plugged in. I have pulled the red wire from the ESC connection to the receiver and still this happens. Can anyone lead me in the right direction to elminate one on/off switch without having the ESC pull power from the receiver pack?

Thanks
Jeff

With it all plugged up you only need to use the receiver pack switch to turn it all on. The esc switch is not used.

All wires +, - & signal from the esc and servo plugs go into the receiver as normal.

The receiver pack is plugged into the batt slot on the receiver making sure the + & - are the same way round as the esc & servo plugs. All 3 red wires should be on the same side.
