Thanks for all the help, but does anyone know if you just solder the FET leads together? If not, how are you supposed to connect them?

Soldering the FET wires together would be the best solution to prevent the wires from coming apart. If you are no using a KO ESC, you must use the resistor in-line on the wire, that comes with the servo. Otherwise you run the risk of damaging the servo. Once sodlering is done, make sure to skrink tube the joint.

I know my speed controler doesn't have it cause right now I'm using a clunky old LRP F1 Digital speed controller that doesn't have much of anything.
I'm gonna get one of the LRP quantum ESCs soon, but I don't see anything about them having it either.
So the question is, can I make this servo work with these ESCs by sodering or something or will I have to use an ESC that specifically supports the 7.2v servo lead.
Thanks.

Thanks again,

Can this servo be used with a ESC that does NOT have FET leads? If so, how?

OH! Ok, I see what you're saying. Thanks so much!

In the instructions, it tells you that if you do not use a KO ESC, you must use the resistor that is included with the servo. Inbetween connecting the FET blue wire with your ESC, you must solder in the restistor. It doesn't matter wich direction the restostor is used. Be sure to shrink wrap this connection.

Probably a sport, but if I can find a competition 1 for the right price I'd rather go for it.

Just purchased it!
Well I just purchased the servo. Hopefully it will be a good one. If any of you would like to know, I can post when I have it installed, and let you know how it goes.

Metal gears versus plastic: Metal gears are sligthly heavier, thus the servo becomes a little slower. But probably it will last better.

I think EP is reffering to "electric powered", as a gas car w/ reciever pack isn't near 7.2v.
I could be wrong, but I hope this helps..

looks like a great deal.
one big difference, though, is that the 2113 is an analog servo. the 2123 is digital.
still a sweet deal.
