If you follow the wires from the battery, the red should terminate at one of the main switch contact, and then the switch end would continue to the red on the two pin connector which feed the power to the RX-18. The black should go straight from the battery to the black on the two pin plug to the power of the RX-18.

I am not too sure how you can get two blacks and two reds, I suppose you can just soldered the two blacks together and only "switch" the reds.

HL tend to switch both red and black so both reds go to one end often with a bridge of solder across both terminals and both black go to the centre terminals, this switches on when the switch is across that end of the power switch, its off when its across the black and empty terminals.
If you are planning to fit a charging switch later its worth cleaning it up and re soldering the wires as per the detail in another recent post.
