RE: Futaba 9254 @ 6v
I have seen this question come up before. Simple quick answer is, they are rated for 4.8V only for a reason. Go ahead and run it at 6v, but when you crash because the fets in you servo are fried, take a picture for us!
Best deal I have found: www.cheapbatterypacks.com go to custom packs. Make a 4cell pack with some good cells. I got a 3300MAH pack and it was only $24.00. You are better off running it at 4.8V IMHO.
goodluck

Mike, I am sorry if you mistook my post as being derogatory. No offence was meant to be taken by you. After re-reading your original post I see you are running regulated 5V. That should be fine. A freshly charged 4.8v pack can be as high as 5.55V. and thats OK.
Again sorry if you mistook my post as being negative.

RE: Futaba 9254 @ 6v
I've been using the 9254 and 9253 on regulated 6 volts for over 3 years on the 53's and just about 9 months on the 54's. As long as the voltage is requlated you're fine. Most servo systems are designed to run on 4 drycells which equal 6 volts. Most nicad 5 cell packs will come hot of the charger at 7+ volts and that's why Futaba and JR digitals don't like 5 cells.
