Servos rated at 4.8V carry a nominal value which is a hangover from NiCd and NiMh days. A fully charged 4.8V NiMh or NiCd pack can give out over 6V for a short period of time, and these servos never failed under such conditions. So, if you're running a regulated 5.1V system, then you are providing exactly 5.1V at all times, which is well within the tolerance that a 4.8V servo can safely tolerate. I have two helis running at 5.1V regulated with 4.8V JR servos in, and they are no bother at all. No step down required for the tail either.
