Radio - Futaba FASST > 9CHP with TM-8 module and R608FS RX voltage issue

I just bought and installed the TM-8 module into my 9CHP and i am using the R608FS for my RX. i think i mya be ok here, but this is my setup i am using for my new Trex600E i am using the stock External BEC to run the lipo battery into the RX.

Heres the issue. the specs on the R608FS RX say to run 4.8v or 6.0v to the RX, but the Align RCE-B3X BEC outputs at 5.8v dc. so is this going to be ok??? does the specs on the RX mean between 4.8v and 6.0v or does it mean it has to be exactly those two voltage outputs??? please help i need to know if i will be running this correctly or if there is a mod i am going to have to have, like another stepdown or something?
thanks clint

I would think it is between 4.8v and 6v any where in that range just like all the other receivers. A nicad 6v battery pack fresh off a charge is higher than 6v and same with the 4.8v it is like 5.2 or so off the charger so the 5.8v reg would be just fine but you might want to use the stepdown for the tail servo.

thanks guys this is absolutely what i thought, but i wanted to be careful and make sure, thanks. and i am definitely using the stepdown on the Tail servo, that goes without saying. thanks again.
