Old type futaba wiring

[Britaff 28]

Hi everyone I hope someone on here can help I’ve got an old type futaba radio, the ones with the male pins but I haven’t got a battery box so I have got a battery box with a modern 2 pin plug, my question is are the red and black wires on the old radio switch red for + and black for - and white for the signal 

if somebody can give me this info I can solder the correct plug in place and get my hilux 3speed churning up my lawn 

thanks Brian

As long as you keep the colors in place it is going to work alright. I've done that myself in the past.

I'm thinking a photo might help?  

I have cut old battery boxes out (where I could) and soldered 2 pin connectors.  So I could use modern 11.1v LiPo battery in all my old Futabas. I always hated rummaging through 8 AA batteries.  At least in those 20 year old Futaba radios, red was + and black was -, like all DC circuits.  I never had to touch the switch. I simply used the wires connected to the battery contacts.

Thanks for the replies I’ve been looking for the correct battery holder on eBay for ages but I haven’t found one so I’ll use this one 

thanks again
