The VRM Module has a rated input voltage of 5 to 16 volts, so it can receive 14 volts. It will output 5 and 12 volts at the rated amperage limits. You can use the VRM to protect electronic circuits.

The Talon motor controller is rated for 6-28 volts, so is fine. I'm guessing that the CIM motors won't have a problem with 14 volts.
