Need help identifying a part

Newbie and amateur here...I dug out my old rc10 buggy that I got in the mid to late 80's. I was trying to get it running again and noticed that its missing a wire connection that goes to the battery. If I remember, it was an adapter that converted the 3 prong connection to the 2 prong for the battery. Anyone know what this is or where to find one? Or any suggestions on how to modify so I can plug the battery in?
Thanks

The third "post" in that connector is for the on/off switch, replace the connector to the buggy to whatever type id on the battery you purchase like a 2 post tamiya type and just eliminate the switch. I never ran the MSC type speed controller, so if I'm wrong someone else chime in :wink:

You could rewire the speed controller to use a two pin connector like the RC10 used in later models. You can find the instructions on how to do it in the RC10CE manual on teamassociated.com and the plug (part#asc6747) is available on eBay for pretty cheap.
