This is a two part question:

First of all, almost every ESC will run on a 1S that doesn't have a minimum voltage cutoff.

Two, it is the servo and Rx that need the booster or Rx pack not the ESC. So if you don't mind a slow servo and possible glitching and shortened range of the radio you should be fine without either.

You can use a 5cell Rx pack or a 2S Lipo Rx pack with a regulator which isn't difficult to do. Then you would get the best performance from your servo and Rx. Plus the Novak Booster has a 1S voltage cutoff so you won't ruin your battery.
