So if the receiver, like the airtronics, can only handle 6V and the operating voltage of the ESC is 6V, no receiver pack required, correct?

If the receiver can handle up to 7.4V but the ESC has again, an operating voltage of 6V, I need a receiver pack?

This is all assuming 1S Lipo. When using 2C lipo, the pack provides enough juice for the receiver, servo, and motor, no matter what the specs in voltage are for esc and receiver, correct?
