Default Servo Voltages

I use Futaba recievers and Hitec servos powered by duralite batteries through a 6 volt regulator.

I am now going to try the JR 8711 servos but have been told that the voltage regulator has to be changed to 5.1 volt output to get the best from these servos.

What is the truth?

Thank you

The 8711 is spec'd to run on 4.8 and 6 volts!

The Powerbox stuff all regulates to 5.9v and this is 100% fine with all JR servos
