Default Voltage setting on CC bec - need help!

Okay guys, first off, I HAVE searched till I'm exhausted, but I'm not finding the answer I need. I am running a Goat system with 7 nimh cells, and a Futaba 425 oz S9157 servo for steering and a Hitec 645mg for dig. My question is this: neither servo gives a "safe" range for voltage, they merely are rated at 6v. How do I dertermine the best voltage to set the bec on with my castle link to get max performance from the Futaba without burning up the Hitec? Thanks for the help!

Both of those servo's have a max voltage of 6 volts. So, setting it at 6 volts will work just fine.

just for future reference all servo's are 6v max unless they say otherwise.

Like the new JR servos that run off a lipo 7.4v if I remember right.

You are planning to have the HITEC (your Dig servo) powered by a BEC, as well? Me, I just use the BEC @ 6V on the steering servo and the dig powered via RX.
