No risk, you will probably get longer servo life as the lower voltage will work the motor less.
Speed and power is still good with most HV servos run on lower voltages.

Sounds fine!
Planning to put them to use on the DerJet Cougar.

May have read somewhere that combining HV servoes and ''ordinary'' servos from the same power-source would be a really bad idea....
From what I can find most High-Volt servoes operate fine on anything between 5-7.2 V, so maybe I`m wrong? I`m aware the speed and power will be lower when volts go down,but that really don`t matter.
I`m running powerbox regulated 5.8 V on a mix of analog, digital and HV servos. What I want to know, is there a risk doing that?
