What servo are we discussing? Throttle or steering?

What vehicle will it be going in?

Servos are supplied with the cables pre-soldered. All you'll have to do is mount the servo and plug it in.

It's the throttle servo in a 1/10 scale buggy.

Found one here, should be a straight up replacement. And it's cheap!

The parts list in the instruction manual for the buggy dosen't show any cables connected to the servo.Is it possible for me to get a servo that's not made by Exceed?

yes, any standard size servo should fit, but you may have to change the servo horn/saver as I am not sure what spline that exceed uses. Hell even the cheapest Futaba s3003 servo would probably be better than anything exceed. And you do not have to solder on any plugs on any servos I have ever seen.
