Its very important that there's no binding in the steering system, make sure it moves as freely as possible! Also make sure you servos are not trying to turn your wheels past the point from which your wheels can physically turn, this will ensure lower power consumption and long servo life.

Probably, unless you're using the newer servos designed to run with the higher voltage....I believe most Rx's will be fine on 7.4 volts...
