I run a Spektrum AR6200 DSM2 receiver with 2 MG995 servos on my crawler powered via a CC-BEC. What's a safe voltage to set the CC-BEC to to get maximum power from the servos and not blow their tiny minds out.

EDIT: Can someone alter the title to 'Safe Voltage...' ?
 
The spektrum can take 7 volts easy. Both your servos and your reciever are ment to operate at 6 volts. Those towerpros will not last more than 2 months more than likely. I had about 6 of them. For what I spent on cheap servos I could have bought a good one and been done with it. I have a JR9000 that refuses to die, well worth the money.
 
Weird, because I've got 3 and non of them have shown and signs whatsoever of giving up yet, even the one in my Wheely King, which gets thrashed, crashed and bashed about a *lot*. I don't expect them to last forever but they seem fine so far. It's all about the torque with crawling anyway, what does the JR9000 throw out?

The system is currently set at 5.8V and is fine, but I can probably push it higher I'd have hoped.
 
JR 9000T is discontinued, but it puts out 320 oz of torque.
The 9100T replaced it with 370 oz. of torque!
I also have the Hitec 5955 with 333 oz. of torque, it is my favorite so far.
All three will bend the chassis up slightly if you do not set the end points correctly! lol
I ran the Towerpros in a basher Savage that saw a lot of flight time, yours will probably hold up fine in a crawler.
