I don't know whether Hitec recommends using their digital servos on 6.0 
volt packs, but they do list the servos specifications for both 4.8 and 
6.0 volts on the package.  I use Hitec 5245, 5625 and 5925 digital 
servos on 6.0 volt packs, but with a 5.6 volt regulator.  I have not 
noticed any problems with this setup.
