How Do I Get Power from Batt to FET Servo
Hey guys I could use some help. Two of our cars are running non FET ESC and we want to run KO's 2123 FET Servo.
How do I steal power from the battery??? + or -??? to the FET Lead from the servo. Also anyone know if the LRP Sphere works with the KO FET??
Thanks for any help you can be.

I'm not very familiar with that esc, but almost every esc has a small fet wire specifically for that purpose. It's usually a small 22 guage wire, only about 1in long, that comes out of the front of the esc's case with the receiver wire.

Plug the FET wire from the servo into the inductor and you are all set.
The 2123 is a great servo and by using the FET power you ensure full servo speed because you don't have to worry whether your ESC supplies 5V or 6V to the servo.

If your servo comes with extra single wire ( blue wire I guess ), connect it to positive red battery directly ( 7.2V max ).

Thanks guys will do.... the LRP Q2 I have has the FET lead, but the LRP sphere does not...... we'll break out the sodering iron today..
Thanks
