RE: Reciever volts ?
If your ESC has a BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit). indicated by the presence of a 3 wire cable with a plug on the end that will fit your receiver, then the ESC will supply the correct voltage to your receiver.
If the ESC does not have this 3 wire cable, then you will need another battery box for the receiver. This battery box will hold 4 AA batteries to supply the correct voltage to the receiver.
