Spektrum receivers and Dymond D47 servos are rated for up to 9 volts, so you can run them directly from a 2s lipo with no BEC or regulator necessary. That's how my Bug is set up, and it works great. One less thing to fail :)
With other receivers and servos you might let out the magic smoke if you connect them to more than 6 volts.
