Or is there a different way?
My servo's rated for 6-7.4V and my ESC's BEC only puts out 5.75V/3A, so I'm thinking I can get some more torque and speed if I give it 6V regulated or 7.4V unregulated.

Thanks.
Should be just the power wire.

Castle has some wiring diagrams here: http://www.castlecreations.com/products/ccbec.html

I've run their normal BEC in the past and its been very solid.
