Default How much power to the Receiver from the ESC

I'm new to electrics and need help, I like to know how much power is the ESC supplying the receiver, are my servos getting 6.0 v or 4.8v?

I have a Castle Phoenix 25 ( an old one ) and will be using HS 81s.

Thank you in advance.

+1 above . Plus the old ones with one chip supported 1.5amps while the later ones with two chips support 3amps. Also the HS-81's will handle 6 volts too.

You should get a little volt meter for your toolbox
