If I set the BEC voltage higher in my esc (Hobbywing XR10 Pro), will it send all of that to all of the channels of the receiver? Also, how to I know the other electronics can handle it?
My servo (Xpert 4000 LV) can operate up to 6.6v. The ProTek Fan I have can operate up to 8.75v. My receiver (RadioLink RC6FG) can operate up to 15v.
The only thing I am worried about is my transponder (MYLAPS 3 wire) that does not state what voltage it can handle. The BEC voltage in the ESC, I can set anywhere from 5 to 7.4v. By doing this, I could make my servo a little faster, and have my fan producing a little more power to cool the motor?

Never mind about the BEC voltage. For my esc, it is switchable between 6v and 7.4v. I guess I'm kind of stuck with 6v since my servo is a high of 6.6v.
The 5v to 7.4v is selectable for the XR10 Pro G2.
 
yes if you set bec to 7.75 that voltage is going thru + and- everywhere from esc to rx to all attached components
you reasearch installed gear thru web and find max and min voltage
 
MyLaps voltage range is between 3.0 - 16.0V

Industry standard for servos is to support 7.4V, the time has come to replace the servo if you need the extra speed and torque on 7.4V ;)
Well said
