Default What am I missing?

I fried my ESC in my buggy Friday. So I had this laying around that came in on a trade a while back. Trying to throw this in as a quick fix until the new setup comes in. I can't figure out where the power switch plugs into and also where does the lead that goes to the Rx plug in??

Try it without the on off switch, just be careful when you plug the battery in
you might not need it!

If you know what the model number of the ESC is, try googling a manual for it!

I've tried to figure out what ESC it is and haven't. I'm not so much worried about the on off switch. But have no idea where the lead that plugs into the Rx goes.

Looks like it could plug into some of those prongs on the front/back of the esc.

The first plug off of the esc' sensor plug is red
So the fourth one from the sensor plug is positive also, etc...
