Default powering your servo and receiver with a lipo in a flux?

is it possible to use a reciver lipo to power my servo and and receiver? i just bought a new servo that will put out 486oz of torque at 7.4v but i think the MMM only lets it go to 6.0. and if possible how do you know if your receiver can handle it as well? or does that matter i know you have to have a voltage regular says so right on the lipo reciever battery what would be a good one to get me my 7.4 cause when there fully charged its like 8. somthing. and do these voltage regulars have a low voltage cut off? im just wondering would like to take full advange of the torque, it puts out 406 oz at 6.0 but why not try for the rest of the 80, lol.

and one more question would it be worth it?

Default RE: powering your servo and receiver with a lipo in a flux?

spektrum rx can handle up to 9.6V...i've also tried using 7.2V nimh in my old futaba rx...it worked...but the voltage going to the servo is still limited to 6V...
