Default Futaba 149DP & S9206: 6V safe?

Hello guys!

I own a Futaba 149DP receiver that I'm used to run on 4.8V: does it support 5 elements batteries (i.e. more than 6V...)?

Also, I've purchased a servo 9206 and the instructions say that it must be run on 4.8V... why? Anyone has tried 6V on it?

Thank you all for the replies.

I am currently flying a plane with 9206's on 6 volts. The servo's were used in a previous plane that I sold the airframe and kept the servo's. The other plane was a 40% Edge and the servo's were all run on 6volts in that plane with no issues. I saw this posting on the Futaba forum and seen where it said that 6 volts would ruin the servo's. Maybe I've been lucky so far but no issues have come of it.... Now it has me wondering???

They run their best on regulated 6V. Go for it. I wouldn't run them any other way.
