Default 4.8V or 6V for hovering

A high voltage input to the receiver will shorten its life cycle
That really surprises me, I've never heard of using a regulator before. I've got two planes with 6v batts, the Cougar 2000, and a Morris Balsa Nova 40 both with futaba ppm dual conv rx's (138dp I think). Should I get regulators for them or can I 'get away with it?'
