Set the cc bec to 6 volts...and the cc sidewinder will handle up to 11.1 volts so ans 8.4 will work fine. hope this helps...

That HiTec servo will handle more than 6 volts but the benefits aren't worth the risk in my book, stick with 6 volts

If the sidewinder will handle 11.1V it's ok to up the voltage to 9.6 then, obviously.
But what difference will this make? more torque?

More voltage will give you higher motor RPMs and torque. I went to an 8 cell 1500 MaH pack and geared down a little bit.
