It is possible. What we don't know is what, if any, voltage regulation protects the radio circuit. A simple zener diode would do the trick if needed. It's commonly used on the larger scale cars without ESCs. Any electrolytic caps around the drive circuit would need to be bumped up, but that may be only one or two parts total.
