Mine's a Mini slide just like Futaba's switch harness. 12VDC@10 amps.

I personally use a switch from Futaba also, the one with the charging lead with it,then I boot the switch with a rubber boot from the offroad cars.
I use the radio box from a Kyosho 777sp2. Smaller and weather tight. Receiver and Lipo battery w/regulator fits real good.

I use heavy duty DPDT LED switch. And makes it easy for anyone to see it to shut it off or turn on.

This is what I use. I like the built in battery monitor. They are a bit pricy at $25.

I put a deans plug (female) in line on the negative wire of the reciever pak.Then I the took the male end of the deans plug and soldered a 3 inch wire from the negative to the positive. then just wire tie it where you want, then plug and play.
