RE: reciever voltage
Most of the smaller (i.e. lower current/voltage) ESCs do. The manual for the ESC should state if it has a BEC and give you a current limit for it and/or max # of servos you can run off of it with different battery pack voltages. Most of the high voltage/current ESCs do not have BECs and you must use a separate receiver pack or a separate BEC/regulator to power the receiver.
