YES, Airtronics rx's WILL handle 6.0 volts (a 5-cell pack); some say you might notice some servo jitter with the pack coming off a fresh charge and a voltage regulator would help there. I have flown 5-cell packs with several Airtronics rx's (including the venerable 94765 FM, the PCM 6 channel Infinity 660 rx's and Stylus rx's, both PCM and FM) and have never used a regulator. Just remember, Ohm's Law tells us that with a higher voltage input, the current drain will be greater so you might want to use a larger capacity battery. I recently have used NiMH packs also instead of NiCD for the large capacity weight saving.
