Most receivers can handle 6v batteries with no problem.
There are some servos, mostly digital, that can't. Check the specs on your equipment to be sure.

In case you didn't know, A five cell battery reading 6V could be anywhere from 80% full to almost drained. 6V is the nominal voltage, so the voltage fully charged is around 7V.
