I am using,at the moment...
2s lipo,directly connected to servo boards from these servos...

And run through a regulator to the rx.

How are they holding up on 7.4v? when I used them they got a bit warm, so I wimped out and used a 6v regulator. I'm planning on using them in a flea, so it'd be nice to know they can survive 7.4v.

So far so good.
I have chased the cat round the lounge for a good five minutes at a time on a little test bed chassis,with no probs,must have run 5 or 6 charges through them so far.(insert cute smiley emoticon holding up crossed fingers here.)

If you look at the servo board there will be at least one probably black chip with many legs. Some servos use two chips, one to decode the rc signal and one to drive the motor. The motor driver one can typically take 15V and above so you don't melt the board.

im having a little trouble with this aswell.. im using HPI SF-1 servo boards, and i have soldered the resistors in the correct positions, but when i turn on the transmitter it doesn't matter how much i trim, it keeps spinning What can i do?
