This is what I do.

I got a servo extension (as to not cut the servo's wire). The red wire off the extension has a male lipo balance plug. So I plug the servo red wire into the balance lead of the lipo. The black and white wires plug into the esc.

Now if you want to have a dedicated lipo only for the servo (not power it off the lipos powering your esc). Then you have to use the red and black wire going to the lipo and the white going into the rx only.
