I run Futaba. Trust me, you need a regulator........I've tried 5 cells without and the results were not cheap.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I fly NOTHING but Futaba. I have run NOTHING but 5-cell NiMH and Nicad packs WITHOUT regulators for years. This is in gliders, giant scale aerobatic planes and helicopters.

This is with servos by Futaba, JR, Multiplex, FMA, Hitec, Volz, and Cirrus. Receivers include 148DF, 148DP, 149DP, 309DPS, Hitec 555 and FMA micro on both 72 MHZ and 6-meters.

A regulator is absolutely NOT needed in any set up that I am aware of.

Unless you were usinf servos specifically designated as NOT being able to handle 6-volts, you do NOT need a regulator.
