"i dont get why most rc receivers have a small voltage rating that are lower than the batteries have."
That is historical / backwards compatibility. Way back when rocks were new and I was roughly your age, R/C gear came with a little battery box that held 4 "AA" cells. "Regular" (carbon zinc or alkaline) cells are 1.5v; rechargeable nicad cells are 1.2v nominal.
4 x 1.5 = 6v
4 x 1.2 = 4.8v
Yeah, then we got NiMH, and LiPo, etc.
Moral of this fable: be careful what standards you create; they may long outlive you. :)
RC receivers are designed to work with rechargeable batteries or an ESC/BEC which usually put out 5 to 5.2 volts. Some of the new 2.4GHz receiver can work up to 9 volts. It all depends on the make and model of the receiver. Your 8.4 volt battery will definitely fry an RC receiver designed to work between 5 - 6 volts.
