Default converting RX/servo power from 6volt to 7.4volt

I was thinking about splicing wires from the ESC main battery feed before it hits the ESC, with a servo wire with a male end and plugging it into the one of the empty channels on the RX,,, I would also cut the red wire from ESC that provides power to the RX since its only 6 volts.
I have a 2s 7.4 volt - 5000mah - 40c lipo battery.
Tekin Redline 8.5 with RS-Pro.
Would this wreck my receiver, can it handle the power ? ? KoPropo 409s RX
Would this draw power away from motor and make it cog or cut out when I turn the wheel.
I am looking for the extra speed and torque that can be obtained from 7.4 volts.
